      I don't think that would solve the problem.

      Buying PolyPlus would (I think that removes these banners) but I will not be harassed into it.

          I was harrassed out of it, but that's different.

            Do what you can to document an instance of this ad appearing, Wezil , and again I also put that call out to anyone else who comes across it as well. I have not seen it myself nor I can I find ready evidence of it from any of our ad suppliers, so our options are still limited as such for now.

              This is kind of a threadjack.

              I am ad free through Poly Plus. Not to long ago, I pulled up the forums from someone else's computer and there were the ads. Funny thing was that the particular ad was of interest to me.

              I am extremely happy not to have the ads with my PLUS subscription, but it occurs to me that it might be nice to look at and support some of Poly's paying advertisers.

              Would it be possible to have a page to go to where you could check out the Poly advertisors? It also seems that this might help people who are having problems to determine if the ad that is causing them problems is legitimate.

              Does Poly get $$ if someone clicks one of those links?

                Did I ask a bad question or just no interest from the admins in answering it?

                  Neither -- we're simply busy. (Generally if no response follows within a week of posting/submitting one, then by all means follow-up.)

                  We would not be able to have a page showing all advertisements on Apolyton for two key reasons. First, they change on a frequent basis and are almost all managed through third-parties (ad agencies) on their servers. Second, and more critically, it would be in violation of our terms and conditions with those agencies.

                  If you are a PLUS subscriber and wish to browse and possibly support some of the advertisers on this site, simply do not login to your forum account.

                    Thanks for the answer Dan...didn't mean to sound pushy.

                    Never thought about just logging out! It's really the simplist solutions that are best, I huess!

                      Or use an alternate browser, or even just log into an alternate domain:

                        What Joe noted are indeed other (or alternate) approaches as well. Good to have them noted here too.
