I'm not sure what the new ad policy is for the forums, but I've started seeing random unrelated ads.

Figured I'd make the admins aware as the sites seem a little sketchy and I don't want to see our members getting either scammed or ending up with malware/viruses.

 

I think these ads are based on your internet browsing habits....

 

I'd tend to agree that most ad systems are based on browsing habits. I understand what you're inferring, but you're wrong in this case.

Beyond that, why is a forum about Jeeps serving up advertisements for dating/sex sites?

 

Not sure i all ads blocked...

 

I don't know how exactly that works. Sometimes I get random ads and sometimes they show the exact or similar items I looked for in an online store.
Heck, on jeepforum.de I've even seen ads for Mini, Fiat and Peugeot....

 

Hi everyone!

Thank you for the feedback! Make sure you are logged in when viewing the site and if possible grab a screen shot of the ad and click through URL. I'll ask it be reviewed by IB and removed if not automotive related or the links smells sketchy.

Nope. I get the dating ads, too, and I can assure you they have zilch to do with any surfing habits of mine.
