Ads

[Anonymous]

There are so many ads with I don't know what - Flash, maybe? - that my system has trouble handling them. Is there anything I can do about this, like ad choices or something like that? I'm sorry to ask and sorry to be so technically uninformed that I don't know the right terminology to explain the problem. Thank you.

Go here:

And download the ClickToFlash extension. It will prevent Flash from running unless you click on the flash to make it start. This is good for security and will prevent the problems you are seeing.

Or, turn off Flash altogether. That is even better for security.

Thank you so much! I had no idea I could do these things. Will it negatively affect the site, though, in terms of ad revenue or something?

I actually don't know. I also don't care. The ads will load, but won't display. I don't know if I'll get credit for that or not. If you turn off Flash altogether, non-Flash ads will display. Either way, you will still load the ads that aren't Flash, so that will contribute revenue. That's enough for me.

Thank you, Jeff!
