Anybody else seeing ads at the bottom of their pages in here?

I am, thought we weren't allowed to link to other sites ?

I'm not seeing any.

Yes, I noticed it and thought the same. Guess if you own the website - it's do as I say.......not as I do.

(somebody is getting paid for space - hmmm - who could that be?

@SharkE I have been getting some too.I used to be happy that I didn't have that junk here at least.

What are you seeing?

All I see is Norton, Bizrate, and Shopping.com which says QVC is a trusted store.

Not on each and every page, think, it's when you first come on. Last one I saw was advertising a laser printer and one other thing that I forgot what it was. Remember the printer because Q sells them and thought it was odd.

Nope, no ads for me. I'm on my iPad right now, but didn't see any ads yesterday on my PC either. That's curious, that some of us are seeing ads and others not.

At the very bottom. Hope they don't start filling in the sides, also. I'm in some Aimoo groups where you have all kinds of ads, some, I'd rather not see. LOL

Y’all need to get better malware.

You’re one click away from a nasty computer virus...

if you don’t have one already on your PC.

I’m on my iPad/iPhone/Mac & never see the crazy stuff

PC owners are saying they have. Love my Apple products.

No ads here, but since QVC is meant to sell, I really wouldn't care. I know it's not a Forum-popular stance, but somehow they have to pay to run these boards. If they can get someone else to pay, it's okay with me. I just figure whether I'm here or even watching, it's all about trying to sell - and trying to survive so that they don't go the way of all the companies that are dying away!

Related to this idea - I still use AOL for some of my mail and there the constant sidebars can be annoying (and pretty useless from my point of view). AOL actually offers to eliminate the ads from their website - for a fee I'm not willing to pay.

Are these possibly products that you previously viewed on other websites? I know some places buy space like that (JTV, HSN and LC both do it for sure). Almost anywhere I go I see their ads for things I've viewed at their sites. I find it extremely annoying and they are hard to get rid of (at least for me). I would never click on one of those ads, that's for sure.

I used to have free Malwarebytes till they started that "free trial' version.

I knew what would happen if I fell for that. After the free trial version, then, they would drive U crazy with taking the paid version.

So, I uninstalled it. Do have Superspyware and of course AVG.

No, can't afford or want a laser printer. I'll start paying more attention and report back what I see next time.

I used to see the ads on my laptop until I downloaded 'Adblocker plus', it's free and now no more ads! Yay!

I also use Malwarebytes, but still saw the ads untill I added Adblocker plus.

@sidsmom I am on my iPad too but I still get the occasional add banner.I noticed it mostly happens when i am searching for an item.I always get a q message that says this forum is not secure when I do a search and have to click cancel or submit.

Re: Anybody else

SharkE — Thu, 12 Oct 2017 13:27:47 GMT

"Plus" does that mean you pay for it ?

Re: Anybody else

BirdieGal — Thu, 12 Oct 2017 13:27:54 GMT

No ads for me either. Maybe because I only have Apple iPads and MacBook.

Re: Anybody else

Yardlie — Thu, 12 Oct 2017 13:29:07 GMT

Yes, I see those tiny "ads" at the bottom of this page, but I personally do not care. QVC makes the rules regarding this site. They can do anything they want...including shutdown this board. They do not bring this board to us at no cost.

Re: Anybody else

qbetzforreal — Thu, 12 Oct 2017 13:31:32 GMT

Yes, when browsing because QVC.com is no longer secure.

No, the adblocker plus is free. They do have a paid version but this one is free.
