I have noticed that the last few times I have accessed the forum the adverts have specifically targeted items I have been looking at online. This week I have been looking at fencing for the new mooring and low and behold the adverts are for....you guessed it fencing companies and supplies. Big brother or what? Actually I am a bit stunned at the cost.We bought a shed at the last mooring and managed to sell it to another moorer This new place has a huge shed fully fitted out with workbenches, shelving, mains electricity and is even carpeted?! Plus there is another wooden storage shed to the rear.
I am a bit unsure about spending over a grand to fence this new place
But it is part of the agreement because of the dogs. Difficult too getting quotes because of you know what.....

Yes, for some bizarre reason I keep seeing adverts for butt plugs and Grecian 2000.  |

If done right and you don't need to consider privacy, wire trellis fencing can look ok and isn't likely to suffer from excess wind.

I've got an advert for a gaming PC system on the forum at the moment which is very bizarre as I never use a pc and I don't play any computer games and never have since my mate had an Atari in the late 80s.
Something that I am not remotely interested in is "targeted advertising"
Strange.
I do often get Google search related ad content as well but this one is random or they think I am someone else.

My browser has built in ad blocker. So I don't get any ads, just a small banner at the bottom of the screen saying "can we talk" if you click it, it's proboards asking you to turn ad blocker off. I get that and every so often the screen fills with a pic of a man wanting to 'talk'.... I switches off n on again |

I also don’t like adverts, but as Proboards is funded by advertising if we all had adblockers turned on, Proboards would close, so I click disagree to targeting cookies and tolerate random adverts. I suppose the alternative is pay to view, which I don’t like either, so ads for me is the least worse option.

All I seem to get are adverts for gym and yoga wear, none of which I have searched for or purchased. But I dont mind as it's all for girlies and the pictures are rather fetching!

They'll have to look a long way for words like that. The closest I've got is "men's trainers"
