When I see I'm being advert targeted as an "old" dude, I wish I had put a different year for my birth date:

Just click the X...
Can't do much about it, but it'll learn you don't like those ads if you say "stop seeing this ad".

I personally use AdBlock and it's rendered browsing the internet back to the days before always having crap pop up, it's great! I do occasionally get an ad every so often but it's nowhere near what a user without any sort of AdBlocking program would be getting.

I just tested this by going to the LPF homepage and no extra ads apart from the dead links. :yh:

These guys don't waste their adds like that on 20 years old, I feel targeted regardless of the professional definition of what it is. Next I will be seeing advertisements for diapers in a few years. Thanks Hap, Rivem and diachi. let's see what I can do.. I've noticed if you post on a subject here, the advertisements are tailored for your comments. This generates support for the forum, so not a terrible thing, but the old folk stuff can stop.

in my browser...

I do need to look into ways of blocking advertisements. Look at that one though, the lady with him looks 15-20 years younger than him and he's smiling.

younger....:eg:

If you're using chrome or firefox, look for an extension called "ublock origin". They aren't sellouts like some of the other ad blocking options are.

Just visit a dating site once in the same browser you use for LPF and from then on it'll give you a very heart warming selection of ads instead. :D ;)

I do particularly like Asian women, they are so feminine!

Edit: I should not have posted that, now I'm getting advertisements for that!!!!

:crackup: Targeted ads are just a little bit ridiculous now days aren't they? What's even worse is if I use my phone to look something up, I see stuff based on what I look up on my desktop because the privacy invading ad companies have linked the two.

PS:I use AdBlockEdge on firefox on my desktop browser and it works wonders.
 
:p You know why that -20 year younger woman is happy too? Her old man has a lot of money which will soon all be hers!
