Alrighty, I have to admit, I haven't visited WHT without logging in for a long time, but tonight Nick gave me a link to check out (I just reinstalled Windows, so I wasn't logged in) and I saw targeted text link ads? o.O

Please tell me that I'm drunk and that iNet/WHT isn't doin it lol

You only get those when not registered/logged in. Simple enough to register to make it stop. :angel:

for me, they generally stop me browsing a website, so would stop me realising that i'd like to sign up. Having said that yours don't seem excessive but i'm a member so don't care.

All you have to do is login, and then they go away. :)

It's been around for a long time now. I want to say over a year even.

It was just like that, WHT deserve to make money and I am not bothered by those ADs as I always arrive here logged in, I can't even remember when was the last time I typed in my user name & password here at WHT.

To me, its a good thing. I can support it if it is only for leechers who don't register... HAHA

I just noticed this tonight as well...

I think the issue is (some) of our logins are not staying... I have to login every time now. I've logged in two time today... more times than I did in the past year... yea, I'm on the same computer.

Yeah, something's definitely changed to that effect. I've had to relogin about 4 times today.

I am also facing the same issue, since this thread started.

since I'm constantly being logged out i get them all the time.

more annoying is that as a rule the signatures pick up the most text adverts, which means the adverts look like they are actually our adverts.
