Minti - Ditch That Annoying Ad!

Comment Published at 22:5922:5913 comments13 comments73 Visits73 VisitsReport
This post is from from my other blog here

Yes folks, you are hearing it here first.  My time on minti is now being restricted even further.  This time, it is not because of family or wanting to be else where, but because of something that is ‘in your face’ and completely annoying.

It is a pop-up add.  Oh sure, it doesn’t sound too bad, and I should be able to turn it off right?  Well, I can’t turn it off!  All my pop-ups are blocked to the max and this one is still getting through.  I believe it is a pop-up blocker bi-pass ad and there isn’t anything ...

Re: Minti - Ditch That Annoying Ad!

Thanks Matt!  i'm so glad i don't have to put up with it going all the time and each tab playing it at a different stage! lol

i appreciate the fact that minti requires advertising in order to keep the site up and running, and most of the ads have been fine, but that one. woah! 

No, I wasn't intending to leave because of the ad.  I had found a way to ignore it, but it also meant ignoring msn, because my volume was off!  Oops to those who tried to chat! LOL. 

I am, however, spending a lot of time sorting this house out, which is the new reason for my absense! LOL  Our garage is starting to look bare, and the house a little fuller!

 We have removed the video/sound ad for all members who are Logged In - I hope this improves your opinion of our advertising (which is crucial to keeping this site free for all)

Thanks for the feedback !

Matt

Has it been removed? I have FF (though not the latest version) and it was constantly coming on of its own accord.

I don't get that Annoying Ad. Is it because I stick to Firefox?

Love Pauline

When I had my MacBook Pro my Simon set it up for me as he says Firefox is the best for me.

Arna would be so missed on minti so there must be something that could be done to That Annoying Ad to make sure Arna stays

Love Pauline

Re: Minti - Ditch That Annoying Ad!

 I totally agree especially in my homepage & blog......I was typing away yesterday leaving a comment, cursor no where near the top, volume up, nearly jumped out of my seat when this loud noise started bellowing.

Don't like knowing that your not around because of this, hope something can be done.....and that your headache eases.

Love Janice

Re: Minti - Ditch That Annoying Ad!

Uhm ! What pop up adds? I keep hearing about these , why are some folks getting them and some not? I still get the white google ads box at the top and the side, but none of this animated all singing all dancing rubbish.

I feel for you, I have come across them on other sites and quickly leave, like wooooooosh gone, can't be doing with that nonsense,LOL.

Hold on a minute ..................................

O.K asked Hubby and he said switch on explorer, so I did and Ouch Arna, poor you, poor all that have that to put up with that. I switched explorer off asap.

I am sticking firmly to Firefox version 10 billion point six or whatever they are up to know, rofl.

Good luck with your mission to bring peace and calm back to minti, two seconds of that nonsense was enough for me.

Hugs,Winnie.xxxx
