I did click on it and you have to pay $10 to remove them.

I get ads for web design. Not very interesting reading at all. What am I missing?

I think the forum owner is the person who would be expected to pay. Personally I just see a narrow greybar marking the place where the advert is... thanks I presume to Kaspersky Security Suite's anti-ad/anti-banner settings.

| I used to see ads but recently I don't see the ads, just a grey box (your ad here), maybe there's a blocker removing them or bizhat have decieded ads here is a waste of time |

Some of the ads appeared a few days ago but like you John, I'm now only getting a grey bar with "Your Ad Here". Don't look at them anyway....

Ah, just looking via my laptop and I can see the ads now, I have a pop-up blocker on but that doesn't stop 'em.
So my desktop seems to block the ads somehow (it also blocks the R2ok banner).
The ads seem in the main harmless but I have seen some soft porn-looking ones with women's backsides wearing only G-strings which doesn't offend me directly but I don't want to be seeing that stuff with the family looking over my shoulder as they walk past.

| That's the problem with free forums, you are stuck with the ads that the board provider see's fit. |
