baker7 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Jeff:Is there a way to remove the Googlebot ads that occur when you are logged in as yourself on BT? I know that they were added to bosts for GUESTS, but they are showing for me now when I am logged in.Perhaps I have to clear the cache??Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Besttechie Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 No, I enabled them earlier for members as well. I'm not sure whether or not it is staying that way (hence why no announcement), but that is how it is for right now.As you may or may not know, it costs a lot of money to run and maintain this website, the ads are simply a way to help pay for hosting and any other fees that come with the site.However, with that said, I did my best to keep them non-intrusive and only in one post at the beginning. I did not put ads at the top of the forums for members to see as Guests do.B Quote Link to post Share on other sites

G4 was famous for running rediculous ads that required me to block domains simply so I could navigate thier sites.I don't mind ads - as long as they don't jump all over my screen - the way you have it set now is perfect Take Care Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
