Just seen one for the 'Fart button' thing.. flashing merrily away like crazy....
Has anyone *thought* there may well be several hundred users on a site of this size that are/could be prone to Light sensitive epilepsy? surely these flashy things are a hazard? i know/ understand they're a revenue generator for the site, but isnt the health of the users of paramount importance ?

just my thoughts....:freak3:

How do you tell which ad network it is

hover your mouse over it, and look at the address that appears in your browsers bottom panel. In there, the main part of the url will be something like vcmedia, tribalfusion, google, etc.

OK

That should be gone. Thanks to everyone for posting the urls, etc.

These settings can sometimes take a while to filter through, so please let me know if you see it again after midday, UK time.

Nah, I've managed to miss Germany. Which is basically testiment to what a fantastic bunch of guys I have.

PS. I've just seen the fart button banner. Agreed! That's not what we want on ScoobyNet, thanks for raising it.
