| Newbie question... This might be a really stupid question but why at the bottom of the page are advertisers allowed to advertise for "teacup yorkies" and toy breed puppies? How is it that they are allowed to do this? Really makes me mad... |

| YT allows advertising like this to pay for the upkeep of the site. The admin really can't specify what ads are and are not allowed for the most part. Since the forum is free to use and we have 60,000 members, the money is needed. That is my understanding anyway.

| yeah, they are google ads pretty much.... ugly things. They pick up on keywords on the site and target the ads to that. You'll see some awful ones... when the whole Michael Vick thing happened we had some ads on here with pics of dogs that were in fights... it was awful

| It's the price we pay for having this Forum.....admin does what he can to keep it up and running.....Donations, advertisements (not to his liking) but he's gotta do what he's gotta do for the yorkie forum.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I don't know how it works but since I switched over to Firefox a couple of years ago, I don't ever see the banner ads. I also use Spyware Doctor virus protection. IDK enough about computers, browsers or software to know which one keeps the ads away from me....just glad I don't see them.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | That's what I thought too, until other members using firefox posted they still see the ads and wanted to know why I didn't?

But if you don't use adblock, then it could be another one of your programs.

| They are not ads put on there by site admin. They are put up automatically through the forum host site. They can't control them and we all hate them. |
