Must say that I'm surprise at the lack of outrage on here about these abominable Ad Choice things on DS..........

I expected a hundred duplicate threads but can't see anything ?.........

To be fair, I haven't seen any yet on GD..............

But on the other forums if you have certain words in your post they turn green when you 'submit' and hovering your mouse brings up an advert over the text.......

The last couple of posts I've made include the words man, women, ladies, style.............all of which go green........this on the Broadcasting sub-forum

Is this just me ?..............or is nobody that bothered about it ?

It's just that normally any intrusive ads bring a barrage of threads............

I see those words didn't go green so obviously the feature is turned off on GD...........

I've seen 2 or 3 threads, one was in the tv forum I think - though I don't know what they mean

That's why it comes and goes then? May also explain the lack of complaints - though there is a complaint thread in the SCD forums.

Get them off DS!

There was a thread yesterday about this latest annoyance.

I was wondering what these green words were. Quite a few in the Soap pages.

I can see them getting annoying..fast

I have found a way to stop the Green ads, allegedly....

Just clicked on that vibrant media link and got a warning saying 'this site has a poor reputation based on user ratings'

Take note DS.

They are discussed on the Freesat and Strictly Come Dacning forums that I have notice and many more.

The reaction isn't favourable.

Let's test it out:

Huge Big Melons

Where does that link to?

I following the link above and disabled it.............cheers, stigid !

It does, however, state that it will turn on again if you clear your cookies............

bumped for si and others.............

They also seem to be in certain places......and when you go back, they've gone.

Is this how we're getting ads on DS now? Not good. I keep thinking the green is a highlighted link, which I suppose is what we're supposed to think - and then click on it too late to realise. I don't like deviousness.

never seen it on DS, though I might have opted out a long time ago.

Can someone link to an actual thread or post where this occurs please?

unless the OP did that intentionally, but I don't think so.
