GETTING RID OF ADS ON MESSAGE BOARDS

Here is how you get rid of the ads that are in the middle of messages:

I was able to get rid of the advertising above the posts by: Click on the little arrow to the right of the bottom ad, a screen will come up from Google that asks for your “ad preferences”. Click “opt out of ads” (it will asks if you really want to do it, I said yes). Install the “plug-in”. And then restart your computer. It tells you if you really want the ads back you can install it again. I signed back on to lapbandtalk and the ads weren't there. Really hope I got all the steps right, but I'm sure you can follow.Thanks to Linda who e-mailed me the how to!
