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....

 

I dont mind certain adverts, car insurance, coach travel, sky, etc , but the fart button one, the smilies one and the get loads of cursors ones need sorting

 

Just seen that fart button ad, that is pretty bad tbh, ive seen it lots of times, but never flash repeatedly like that before now

 

Not seen this one.

Can someone please tell me which ad network is delivering it to us and I'll dissable it. Sounds horrific!

 

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.

 

Click at your peril.

The property details when right clicking the 'fart button' ad a few mins ago.

Cheers for looking into this one.

 

Yep and its still running

 

Guys

I've only just logged on (I'm on holiday), so will go and sort this out now.

No need to be sad Phil!

 

Sad that I am stuck in Wickford rather than Trier with ESC and SIDC groups

Never mind think I will press the Fart Button and upset our IT guys

 

WHAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I assumed you were in Germany

Hope your enjoying yourself

 

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.

 

BTW Smiley Central is still running

 

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.

 

Could you please give me the same information for smilie central as you did for the fart button one?

 

I'll go on a hunt for them

 

Fart button one still running

I think it knows its on its way out. Its putting up a brave fight though. Its knocked out every other ad.

I think you've made it stronger Webmaster.

 

ROFL

its bloody annoying though odds on is right I am seeing it every other page

 

Please can it be replaced with an "Old Fart" button?

For Phil & I to use.
