Annoying Ads on RootsWeb

May 14th, 2007 by Jamie

Over the past couple of days, we’ve heard a lot of concern about blinking or flashing ads on RootsWeb that are annoying and even potentially dangerous to those susceptable to seizures or migranes. We agree that these advertisements have no place on RootsWeb and we’ve been working with the ad folks to remove them all.

If you see a flashing or offensive ad anywhere on RootsWeb, please report it to the HelpDesk. Make sure that you include a general description of the advertisement and the text that is on the ad so that we’re sure that we remove them all.

Thanks for your patience and understanding and for helping us identify and nix all of these bad advertisements.
