Annoying ads

Does the management actually make a profit with those flashing ads?  Or (and i suspect as much) are they just trying to annoy the player into paying for a subscription.  Or both.  If so, it might be working.  I was answering a forum topic when a highly annoying ad flashed up in my face inviting me for the thousandth time to check my credit score.  Trying to x out of it, I xed out of the site my mistake and had to get back on and retype the whole thing, and of course I was asked again to check my credit score.  Seriously, does anyone playing chess on chess.com, confronted with these ads, think:  "Gee, I'll drop everything and check my credit score right now!"  I guess i'll just have to pay.  If only there were a way to do the same for football games, then i'd only have to watch for a half hour and not listen to those moron announcers telling us that someone "will have to step up" to win the game.

Only rambling.

Thx, chess_boy_...as soon as i get my tax rebate, I'm in business.  Happy to hear from New Zealand!

You don't have to listen to that Dunedin dweller

Downloading Firefox did the trick for me-

No more ads!

Chess.com really need to start moderating ads. Just a while ago I accidently clicked on an ad, then a window pops up telling me firefox is out-of-date and I need to install the latest version. Probably nothing more than spyware.

I think, just like on alot of websites, the ads need to be filtered more to prevent situations like chessph said above.

Or you can just buy a membership. If the ads are such a huge deal for you, but you dont want to spend too much money, just buy a gold membership. You get decent pirks, and no ads. 

I agree. They should filter these ads. Regardless of what membership I have, I don't want to spend time removing viruses or malware.

Adblock. Download it, love it. No ads on this site or any other site
