Active User, very eHealthy
Hello Everyone,

I cannot be still any longer.

There are a number of advertisements on this forum that make me very concerned. PLEASE be very careful not to accept at face value the contents in the ads. Do your research first and do it well regarding the advertised claims.

Thanks, Dyan ... I think Rich is concerned about the ads by Google that we publish next to the content. As we have no editorial control over what is sent to our site, we cannot (at this time) pick and choose what is displayed. We're working on it, though.

death clock pop up ad
Hi

I agree with RichT about some of these advertisements. I just posted a reply and the person lost her pet. The ad next to her post that popped up was when will I die?
It's the death clock ad. I have seen it many times and it is disturbing to people who suffered a loss or for people who are very depressed, heck even a little depressed.
I know you don't have control over what is being sent to the site but I just needed to get that off my chest.
Thanks for letting me vent on this one.

It pops up every so often usually in the first post of the thread.
Next time I see it I'll let you know.
Thanks

You should use a pop-up blocker. I never see any of these ads!

I was just going to ask what ads because I have never seen any. Adblock Plus and Mozilla Firefox are great at not showing all that junk Smile

Don't the advertisements just keep the site going as in public funding? Do you mean the websites shown around the sides.. I don't pay much attention.

This one website about death time clock is the one that bothers me the most. I can understand health related pop up ads/advertisements but this one is down right sickening.

Maybe I'll switch over to Mozilla I have it on my computer but haven't use it yet.
You get use to one program but I know my kids use both. They said it's no different than the one I use now.

Firefox is much cleaner and lighter all round. IE dumps all kinds of rubbish in your browser.

The main reason why I started using MF was because IE would always have an error and shut down. Drove me crazy. Then when I found out about all the cool stuff that it had and IE didn't, I wasn't going back to IE unless there was something that MF wouldn't run.

Oh, if you install MF, don't uninstall IE. It will mess up your computer and plus it's still handy to have because MF won't run some programs on some websites...it's rare, but it sometimes happens to me.
