I sent my Wife a link (to her iPhone) so she could see the listing I just put in the Classifieds and she was pretty put off by the nasty ads the site was serving up. I wasn't aware of this as my PC runs Ad Guard. She sent me screen shots which I will post here. (see attachments) I assured her this wasn't a "porn website" and I bet the INGO staff is unaware these particular ads are part of the rotation. I know from being on staff at some other forums myself that sometimes Ad servers "sneak" some stuff in that was NOT agreed upon and sometimes Ad servers can get "poisoned" by malware. Anyway take a look at these attachments.

pretty sure the ads are generated by your cookies from your searches.
Assuming she was looking as a guest and not logged in those are what she was served most likely by Google ads, not this site...
Yuuuuppp
Whomever is looking at spicy content on what ever device she is using needs to learn how to use the incognito or private browser option.
Ads are generated by search history or browsing history.
Google ads. (or Kev's ad software) Nothing to do with your browsing history. I've seen them before when at work pasting a URL into an incognito window.
Logged in users never see those ads. (at least when everything is running right)

Yeah she's not searching anything remotely related
Nah....not in this case
Instead of announcing this to the entire viewer content how about sending this directly to TexKev and he will deal with the issue 1st hand.
come on folks.

It seems relevant to post to me
Hello TF
Ok so you are on top of all this. Great.
Thanks.
My point is get this directly to the admin before posting. If it is indeed offensive and is An issue get it up the food chain.
fellas we can not read everything that gets posted in this forum. It is impossible. And Tex has 9 other forums he admins.
So we don’t always see these posts.

No problem, I mean this IS a discussion forum is it not?
Huh. Glad you paid attention and yes it is..
"BUTT"
Call me a skeptic, but I'm dubious about these "sexy Asians" in Rockport. Maybe we need an INGO scavenger hunt there.
