I think the ad for the stay at home mom finding a remedy for teeth whitening is gross! It turns my stomach every time it comes up on the page to have to look in someone's mouth! This is distasteful considering the type of website CakeCentral is. I know CC needs the advertising to support the site...but this is disgusting! How about burying it way in the back somewhere?!

I must agree with you it's tasteless!!!

Ahhh! You have said what we are all thinking!!!! Thank you!

What, you mean those pearly yellowish-browns don't compliment the delicious cakes you're looking at?

I agree, it is a pretty nasty ad. I've been trying to tune it out, b/c I know that advertising is what keeps this site going. Still, it is not the most appetizing thing when you're thinking about cake and buttercream...

just a tip, if you use Mozilla Firefox as your browser & install the "Ad Block Plus" add-on, you won't see any ads.

i have never seen an ad on any of the forums i use! )

I was just going to suggest the same thing! (AdBlock Plus). It's free and it works GREAT!

Do the sides of the page just look blank where the ads are supposed to be? Or does CC spread out into the ad section? Just wondering!

It seems like CC spreads out to fill the space; I haven't noticed any weird gaps. Give it a try! You can always disable it. You can even temporarily disable it for sites when you WANT to see the ads

Thanks for the tip! I'm a little challenged in that dept. (computers). Would someone tell me step by step how to engage the block? I use Mozilla Firefox.


Thanks!

Waiting to hear how this works also, I agree YUM YUM , NOT!!!!!!!!!

I agree, it's pretty nauseating. Definately not a good choice for a banner on a baking site!

Yay! No more teeth ad lol, I installed Ad Block Plus and I'm so happy

In your open firefox window go to Tools .. Add Ons .. in the search box put Adblock Plus .. click on the adblock plus when results show up & install. HTH

Be sure to hit subscribe to the page firefox pulls up once you restart it. You dont really subscribe to anything but you have to hit that for it to work.

thanks mrsbriggs...I never knew of that option. I just did it and it works fine...NO MORE YUCKY TEETH YAAAYY!! Does it only apply for this site or will it automatically do this for all the sites I visit? Anyone know?

Hooray Me too!!! I never knew I could get rid of them! My kids will be so happy! They always complain because of the teeth the the weight loss one!

It could be worse...at one time there was an ad in the popups for a TV show about strange foods which showed a guy eating a big spider.

thanks for that!

What do we do if we don't know what we have? How do we check? I'm computer illiterate.

My pages load sooooo much faster now.

Debster- browser should say at the top left hand corner of your screen.n If not, go to help at the top then about.

anyone know how to do this with internet explorer???? i'd love to get those ads off my screen!

That's what I have internet explorer. I love learning computer with cakes, hehehehehe

woo hoo!! I always use firefox but never knew about the add-ons/filters! Thanks soooo much, all the ads are gone!!

PS - I love learning cakes and computers together too, lol

OMG! I was going to post about this myself today! Thanks for beating me to it! Those yellow, gross, disgusting teeth turn my stomach and make me want to BARF!!!! Are they really making money with whatever product they're selling??? EWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have Mcafee installed on my computer. when I installed Mozilla, it wouldn't let me pull up any of my websites. (Like cakecentral.com). Did I do something wrong? It said something about a Proxy something or other.........

Hmmm I had McAfee before & did not have any issues with the firefox. Maybe the settings on McAfee need to re figured?? Not sure, maybe someone on here will know.
