Flashing - moving ads - ugh!

I can live with coffee ads on Home Barista - for sure - but those changing moving active type ads - are extremely distracting and irritating to me... (like turning on a flashlight and blinking it in my eyes) Is it possible to just have 'still ads' - (or is it I'm just a sensitive guy?)

I haven't seen what you're talking about, but you can turn off ads or limit them to only sponsors.

I have always left ads on, but agree that the flashing ones have become so intrusive that I now turn them all off.

Hmm-m, it may be new "page level" ads. I've disabled them. Let me know if that reduces the annoyance factor.

Luckily I don't see what Howard is seeing due to my settings but I agree with him completely. It might be the cataracts but I too find flashing ads hard on my eyes, not just flashing but those that scroll are a problem.
Might be time for advertisers to get a clue here, if not for the flash ads more people would probably not be blocking all ads.

Some ads still keep changing/flashing - others do not even though I turned flash off in the control panel. Such as the one at the top of the page right now for la marzocco - switching relentlessly to 3 different images.

Also: I checked this in both Firefox and Safari. Both show the ads the same. I also notice that though I removed my website from my profile (because it does not exist currently) it still shows below my name. It appears: The control panel is not responding properly.

I've not seen any flashing ads since changing the setting. Is this a mobile phone or desktop? As for your site, you had included it in your signature; I removed it for you.
