Every time I go to read a discussion,I'm getting a blue flashing box telling me I'm a winner (yeah, right!) & the flashing is making me feel sick. So,PLEASE! whats the secret of getting rid of flashing advertisements (If you can't tell me that, can you tell me the best way to overcome nausea!!)

Sorry,it's not going away anytime soon.
It is just one of those annoying pop up ads that appear on a lot of sites.

I am not sure how to get rid of it, but I have a suggestion, get an adblocker, that may help. I don't see those on my screen and we have the ad blocker that comes with firefox I guess.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Wizzywig (2868)   ranked 60 out of 3,555 in mylots  2 months ago

Luckily, that particular ad seems to have stopped now but I'll check out your suggestion. Thanks.

Well I am glad it went away, but I do hope that if it comes back or another annoying one the ad blocker will help. My husband is on the laptop, and from time to time I have heard an ad go off from his speakers.

Yes I feel the same sentiment as yours. But we must also realize that Mylot is also earning from these banners they post and they have to do this to survive as well financially. I think with over 100k+ members and I think they would pay us hugely every month they have to source out some way to earn too to pay us.

So what I do is just ignore those banners and so far I have been used to having to see them from time to time. It does not affect me anymore and they seem to not affect me anymore than you do.

I dont have a problem with the advertising banners... its the flashing things. I'm sure they could be a danger to people with certain medical conditions.

You can't lose the banner - but you can stop it flashing by hitting the escape key on your keyboard.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Wizzywig (2868)   ranked 60 out of 3,555 in mylots  2 months ago

That'll do for me thumbup Thanks for your help.

Great tip! That flashing banner made me feel sick to my stomach.
It is bad for eyesight and makes me feel like I am going to faint.
Definately it is a threat to the health.

thanks for the information. thumbup


myLot reputation of 85/100. jazzsue58 (1042)   ranked 395 out of 3,555 in mylots  2 months ago

When I first came here, I complained about it - that's how I learned what to do. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's a serious threat to health. It did go for a while - replaced by the possibly worse "Hey girls, d'ya wanna die of anorexia?!" type ad from some dieting company using (a decidedly starved-down) Victoria Beckham as their role model.

Could be why "make money" rather than "stay healthy" seems to top the boards here!


myLot reputation of 99/100. Wizzywig (2868)   ranked 60 out of 3,555 in mylots  2 months ago

Oh yes, that diet one's awful too. I mean, I would like to be slimmer but not THAT emaciated! The "Be naughty" one is tacky too.


myLot reputation of 85/100. jazzsue58 (1042)   ranked 395 out of 3,555 in mylots  2 months ago

Hmm ... I've not seen that one. Be back in a tick ... whistlerasp
