Keeps triggering this webpage to go to a totally different website (Lemode magazine) . Am I the only one?

/Edit: When it pops up. I'm not clicking it or anything.

No it was in the new TPF ad thing. One kept coming up for me something "Fix your flats" and then TPF was gone and this other page was there. I'm not seeing it anymore. Right now there's one up for "Date Arab Women."


Not sure why anyone would want to do that.

What do you use? I would like to have to not deal with it either. Super annoying and I'm really interested in Chloe and Mac and Bob's conversation about Gorebal warming.

Are you talking about the Google Ads?

Get Ad blocker if you want.

Is that what they're called? Whatever it is beneath the TPF banner and the Tags section thing nobody uses.

Lol I kind of pre-empted whatever was going on. I have been refreshing my page over and over to see if I could get that same ad but it doesn't seem to be back. Thankfully.

Wonder how google figured me for the demographic of a black singles dating site.

Well that's the scary part. I know how much they watch what you do. They probably know me better than I know myself, but I am not single. (edit: or black, obviously)

Nor do I have flats that need fixing, now that I think about it.

The big thing that gets me is that I get adds for stuff that I just bought. What are they teaching in college these days?

This one is based on the thread. Anyway, logoff and log back in.

I dunno, I didn't get suckered into going to college. If I had I would be in debt, not making money. Ask Chloe , I think people say she is graduating soon or something. Poor lass.

I don't think Chloe is in debt.

I noticed that sometimes the ads relate to something posted on the page. Perhaps that is why you got black dating ads.

Probably not. Someone else probably paid her way. Without outside forces though, I am almost 100% positive she would be in debt.

I graduate in the spring. I'm not making money right now but I'm also not in debt.

This is why I use AdBlock.

This was fairly common with IE, banner ad - don't even have to click it and it dumps malware on your computer.

Since getting Firefox and AdBlock years ago I've never had this problem since.
