Ads

I am a contributing member and have selected 'no ads' in my user options.

However, today I have a big red ad right in the middle of the page from hack.oreilly.something-or-other and an ad for Thawte on the right.

Ok, I haven't contributed much lately because of my new job, but I am still curious what the policy is about those ads? It's probably explained here on the site somewhere, but I don't know where.

Thanks...

itsjustme,
the homepage isn't setup to properly recognize Contributing Members. Thanks for the heads up - I'll get this fixed ASAP. You're not seeing any ads in the forums, HCL, reviews, LinuxAnswers, etc. - are you?

This should be fixed. If you notice ads anywhere else, let me know.

Thanks jeremy.

I only see the google ads, for instance on the slackware forum, at the top to the right and at the right toward the bottom, but they aren't intrusive, appearing to be a part of the page scheme. And they appear to be mostly linux related.
