Am I the only one getting a ton of "Gay Mature Dating" ads here? I wouldn't mind it if it appeared like once a week or something, but I get them just about everytime I go to the front page. This is for the banner ad and the one that appears below the first story.

I really wonder what I've been browsing that makes them think I'd be sooo interested in Gay Mature Dating lol.

I've never got that one, I feel left out

Get Firefox, get the addon adblock plus, right click the ad bar and block it.

I have Trend Micro ... I've had many types of protection software ... McAfee, Norton(Symantec), Ascentive, Avast, AVG, and more, but Trend Micro is the best by far. Not having any of these problems.

Note that adds are based on what region you're in. I actually get Dutch adds, so it might differ from east to west coast, or even more specific.

That said, I want to add my two cents in the browser discussion.

My browser of choice (and that of a large part of the internet-oriented business world) is Firefox. Mostly for its many extensions/add-ons and utilities. I started using it because it used to be best at pop-up blocking but that's a common thing right now across browsers/platforms.

Anyhoo, I actually have an extention which I use to disable all adds and alter the layout of CB. It removes ALL adds, it changes the width of the blog too 100% that of my screen and it alters some minor graphics.

So erm... neh neh ne-neh neh :P No adds for me-heee! ;)

I use firefox and Chrome at home, no problems.

At work I use internet explorer and I get a lot of issues with visual glitches due to advertisements, but I think that's more a symptom of my backwards minded security settings (that I can't touch).

Pollo Campero!!  I've eaten there many times when I spent time volunteering in Guatemala.  They have terrific fried chicken, great deals on specials, and surprisingly good pizza too!!  I wish they would franchise up here in the US...

Cool to hear.  I learned how to surf near La Libertad, a small town called El Zonte.  I lived in La Antigua for 2 1/2 months, doing volunteer work in Guatemala City at a program called Camino Seguro.  The family that owns Pollo Campero actually has twice donated large sums of money to Camino Seguro for being their favorite NGO of the year in Guate.

Sorry to get off topic!  But interesting commonality here, Edgar!

same J, give in to firefox!
Actually now that you mention it the problem started when i switch over from firefox to internet explorer, because i was having trouble with firefox, is there a third option for pc?
I use Chrome. Firefox can be a headache.
