How will you react when that space says two people have unfriended you and you had no idea you had two friends? :lol:

Re: You got mail?

Unfortunately that message has been has been up there a long time now. It's at the top of my newer laptop computer screen right now running windows 8 through IE at the moment.

They are Google ads! When I clicked on the more ads choices arrow it read this,
Ever notice "Ads by Google," "Sponsored Links," or the AdChoices icon AdChoices icon as you browse the web? Ads like these show all across the Internet. Advertisers can use AdWords to show Google Ads on sites that are part of the Google Display Network. You may come across such ads when you’re viewing a website, video, or app on Google’s Display Network or other partner sites. In addition to seeing ads based on the types of sites you visit, you may also see ads based on your interests and more.

Edit: Forgot to mention earlier that this has been reported a few times already, some by private messages as well as here in the forum website issues.

I didn't mean to throw stones. FT. :)

I've also noticed the thread subject sometimes leads to ads similar of nature. For example, if I view a prop thread, sometimes the ad space has a prop related ad. But that's only after I run out of friends. :lol:

All in good fun GA_.:)

Yes I have noticed that as well. Have you looked anything up through amazon.com lately? that's about all I ever see anymore is a reminder that I was there at one time or another. :rolleyes:

Thanks Fun Times - It was the first time I had seen the ad...either that or I just don't pay attention to those things. :)

Amazon is good for bombarding with ads wherever you go. Google too. A few minutes ago I Googled about cable TV, now I'm getting Xfinity ads on the right side here. I just ignore all of them.
