Sorry, not a fishing related post., so I'm not sure if this can stay up- but the ads here on the BFT pages with the parasites- the stomach worms and the fish with the
-eating-louse absolutely gross me out. They make me want to crush my iPad and then burn the remains with gasoline. It's gotten to the point that I have a hard time bringing myself back to look at the website. Am I a wuss, going insane, or what? These don't bother anybody else? How long do ads usually run here before they are changed out? I really can't stand accidently looking at them. I can be up to my armpits in elk guts and have stomach contents spray me in the face and laugh about it.... But these pics REALLY bother me.
I guess you could use the lice or the stomach worms on a hook as fish bait. There, now I made my post fish-related. But just doing that gave me the willies. I don't think it was worth it.

Ads? Never noticed them.

Not sure how to fix it on Safari if you're using your iPad, I haven't had problems using my iPhone though.
On my desktop though I use Firefox with Adblock Plus installed and it really keeps the adds down. Before I started using Adblock, it was really taking a long time for each page (just BFT...) to load, not to mention the annoying content. Now I don't see any adds.
I don't know if this helps, but that's what I did. Maybe Safari has a similar add on to block them?

I don't see them, I use AdBlock on my Chrome web browser. Does sound gross tho!

I don't mind the legitimate ads specifically related to fishing or boating. The others should be blocked. I especially don't care for the ones attempting to use sex as an enticement. I've thought about leaving the forum because of some of the ads.

Delete your cookies, The ads are generated by things you have looked at before or places your frequently shop, For example I look a lot at B&H photo and thats what my ads are the other is Iceland vacations because i search Iceland a lot for northern light photos . The only disturbing ad i have is vote for the ad you want to crash the Superbowl. maybe a guy should search for Jena Jamison ads lol

The ad service a forum uses generates the ads you see directly from the saved cookies in your browser. Has nothing to do with the forum choosing the ads and everything to do with your browsing history. If it's a shared computer it gives you an idea of what others have done searches for.

Your are right. All my adds are for fishing gear. If I could only afford it.
