Quiz crap

[woytovich]

This is from the ad that comes up for the quiz thing.... can you remove this "advertiser"? It's borderline spam in that they try to trick you into a monthly subscription... this is their fine print:

when/where do you catch that one?

As a Silver Star member, you should see almost no advertising...upper right 468x60 and two other locations you can switch off in your User CP...unless you aren't logged in

I see it BEFORE I enter my username and password to log in... it's "officialquiz.com"

It is often a picture that says "is this fake?" or "how many eye?" and wants you to click to answer, then it wants you to send a cell phone text to get the answer... resulting in you subscribing with billing to your cell phone account...

I'll look into it...haven't caught that one myself...but those ads are filtered from ANY registered user on the forum

I edited pretty fast.

I found it (as you said) in the User CP under: Settings and Options - Edit Options - Thread Display Options. Check the boxes for 1) Advertising: Google and 2) Advertising: Quick Reply Cloud
