FED UP WITH THESE ADDS

I just want to voice my discontentment with these adds that appear in the middle of our messages/posts. They are sooooo inapropriate. They are not even related to VSG but to other weight loss procedures that most of us know will not work.

Vote and voice your opinion.

Thanks

I thought it was just me - LOL. The page is pretty much filled with advertisements and since they've seemed to run out of space they started placing them smack-dab in the middle of our posts/replies. It is a bit distracting.

Wishes - What is "AdBlock" and how do we do it?"

Thanks!

I'm fed up with them as well. The mobile site on iPad used to not show the ads that have always shown up on the right side of the regular web site version, but the new ads that are in the posts are showing up even on the iPad. Very frustrating when you are using a datacard to now have to use my data usage to pull down images of ads that I don't want in the first place. I honestly think I would rather pay a few dollars a month to be on the boards just to not put up with the ads. At least they could give us the option.

I hate them too and one reason I'm not on here as much as I use to be. It's hard to keep focused on what I'm reading with something flashing all around me.
