Anyone noticed.! Adverts on 'The official Mark Knopfler News website'

[Best Brown Baggies]

Hi all. I hadn't been on the other site for a while now, but logged in today to find that there is advertising on the posts of the fans forum.
I know this was always something that everyone was very against when TK mentioned doing it a while ago, and alot of us forumers pledged money to keep it advert free.
Strange no mention of it on the other site, unless i've missed it.
Just wondering if it's had to be done, because the majority of us fans are on AMIT now.

Cheers   BBB

I have had a look, BBB, but can't see any adverts.  Where did you see them? 

[Best Brown Baggies]

Eg.

Click on Discussion, then on any topic title.

On the right hand side of the topic post, there is a small square of advertising. (ads by google)

Cheers   BBB

I've done that, but no adverts on my PC!  Very strange! 

[Best Brown Baggies]

I'm confused now.!

Why would it only be on my laptop.!!!!!!!

Anyone else see them.?

Cheers   BBB

Yes the ads are on mine also. I just have a look in there every so often for old times sake and saw the Google ads thingy.

My husband has them on his PC, but I haven't.  How very odd!!

A thought occurred - maybe it's because I have Vista?   

[rudiger]

just logged in: no adverts here (Vista)

I got the ads yesterday.
Another forum I'm on for another subject also recently went to ads, and it is also on Yuku, so maybe there's a connection there.

no ads for me. while on the subject of MK News, I noticed that Terry had amended the announcing of the tour dates to "Tour dates for 2010 are likely to be 'rolled out' from around the same time as the album is released" (from tour dates will be announced). It will be the same cr*p as last year, not knowing where to book, because not knowing if tomorrow, they are going to announce they are playing in my back garden.

i asked guy

[Rollergirl]

why? seems pretty clear to me!

[Pottel]

coz he should not post anything that is rumours only.
that'S all. and if guy ellaborates or confirms that'S even better, then it comes from an OFFICIAL source, got it??

[superval99]

I have discovered that I only get adverts when I am logged out.  When logged in, no adverts!

Got it! but I thought MKnews was an official source!
