It does indeed seem to be the case as clearing my history seems to have had an effect on the ads im seeing.

You can opt out of targeted ads from google here http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/v ... nnIQ&hl=en if you so choose.There is a plugin that can be downloaded to opt out permanently so you dont have to apply the option every time you delete your history.

Really wish it was made law that customers have to opt in rather than allowing customers to opt out personally.

It's not that i have anything to hide but i like to think my browsing history is just that.Mine and not the worlds to use as it see's fit.

Glad to hear that clearing the cached helped.

So exactly where in my profile do Metaboli intend to put a tickbox saying "no to ads"?

I know the rules are different in the UK, but in Denmark you can place an official sticker on your physical mailbox saying no to ads. This is the way to get rid of printed ads without addresses. To get rid of the addressed printed ads, you can join the so-called Robinson list, which every company has to check before sending you a printed commercial.

I know that Metaboli will get revenue from the ads, but how about a different business model, where you charge an extra fee for the "extra" no-ads service? I have no intention to click on any of the ads, so if Metaboli gets paid-per-click, I believe my proposed model is a better business.
If you want a more positive model, raise the normal price, and give customers a reduction if they accept ads.

Thanks for your input Gamer_6512483. We'll discuss internally about different options when the test is over and we decide how to move forward. Thanks again.

Or if ads bother some so much and they use firefox then the plugin adblock will stop you seeing them altogether.

Sorry Terra I didn't get your last post... my plugin blocked it...

I have a question about the ads. Ive seen one i like and thought i'd click it instead of looking it up myself through google and when i do it always takes me to The next big thing game page. I clicked on it and also tried right click open in new tab.Iv'e tried deleting my cache and restarting my pc but it still does it.Is this just me? It's not a big deal but i'd like to know if it's something with me and i suppose you'd like to know if its a problem or not. any suggestions?

also I have a little triangle at the bottom of the ads that i can close them or open them. i wonder about this cause ive read that others are wondering if you can close it. so they don't bother me. I didnt install anything, unless its something already on my pc.

You're right!

In IE if you click a banner, the Metaboli redirect to The Next Big Thing overrides it.

The banners work as they should in FireFox.

Back to CSS School for your code monkeys Shane!

How weird! Now that I test it though, it works fine... Do you still have this bug today ?
I will need to mention this to our devs, but let us know if it happens again to see if it was a one-day bug or worse. Thanks!

Yep still there I'm afraid.

Using Win 7 64-bit and IE9.

IE's CSS Support changed from Version 7 to 8 to 9 for certain things.

Pain in the backside for us developers.
