Title: postimage ads
Post by: Uncle Mort on July 08, 2008, 08:11:30 AM

I'm getting banner ads (of a somewhat dubiuos nature) when I click on the uploaded images posted.

Not seen them before today. Anyone else see them or have I picked up something?

It has been mentioned before (here and at another place)...

In the Cyprus forum they use the same hosting... in the 'What do you look like thread' some of the girls were upset to find the ad 'Find hot girls in Nicosia' above their picture...

It is free and we have no control over the content...

Thanks BM ~ it's seems intermitant so it looks like I'll have to live with it.

Don't worry Wenchy, I haven't seen any "Hot girls from Surrey" yet.

Yes ~ I too have seen these "extra" adverts. Strangely they appear on some of the uploaded pictures and not on others .... but what puzzles me is that they do not show up when you first indentify a picture via Google Images and decide to upload it to this site.
Something we will have to live with I guess ~ unless we decide to do away with images all together.
