Hi Lambton

This could be down to Google “targeted ads”

I found this about opting-out of this “service”

Log into your Google account and mozy over to the Google Ads Preferences page, where you can hit an Opt Out button to put a cookie (identified and detailed) on your system that blocks ad monitoring and targeting. The downside, though, is that any time you wipe out your cookies (a pretty common move, especially amongst the privacy-conscious), that preference washes out with them. So Google also offers an Opt-Out Preferences plug-in for Internet Explorer and Firefox that auto-kills ad targeting. Good for those who use those two leaders of the market; kinda annoying for everyone else

why have the winging whining posts been deleted ?

OK they may have been miserable bastards having a moan, but surely they're still entitled to their opinion….

this forum needs a 'general' off topic area that stuff like this can be posted in.
this is one of the only forums i know that doesnt have a 'general' or 'off topic' forum for posts like this

PS

+1 for installing adblock +
works a treat, specially on this site……….
