If you start getting offensive ads you may have some nasty cookies on your PC. Try opening your browsers toolbox and go to advanced functions / cookies. Search out any cookie with the term "stat", "track", "count" or "porn" in them and delete them.
Chances are that you will then get more normal ads...
Originally the thread was about "unwanted adds " and i think what was meant was adds that had a sexual content . Maybe thats happening in Sweden where the original poster is from . All i see as far as adds on P.B. are those concerning camera's and such .
I agree,it's a free service, if I deal with a few ads so be it,it's no real bother.But offensive stuff,that shouldn't be,I have not experienced that.
Benefit of going Pro...no ads. Many sites take advantage of providing advertising based on your browsing and online shopping experiences. You can always deactivate those cookies which provide such information to the site which provide these ads to you. The Internet never forgets! It works in conjunction with your computer to deliver to you relevant advertising. So watch where you browse online.

Yes, there are ads but i generally ignore them.....it's a free service so i guess one should be happy it stays free because those ads appear on your screen.
A matter of give and take i would say. it doesn't disturb or offend me in the least.

Cadet Chuck There is no such thing as a free lunch. I hope that FSM will change their software to allow us to upload from our pc's, rather than using photobucket or other such third party sites. I have been avoiding using PB and like sites. Just won't post any photos any more.

No way. I'm active not just here, but on a few other forums, on Facebook and on my blog. I much prefer a central hub where I can upload my pics and grab them for use elsewhere to uploading to each site. I'd use Flickr, but I'm already using it for family pics and such, and a few people get pissy when I take it over for model stuff. PB offers some compelling features, too, such as the codes, mobile apps and, if you're a pro member, lots of awesome upload options (auto-resize, etc).

what ads are you talking about? I use Photobucket exclusively and have never gotten adds for anything.
------------------------
Now that I'm here, where am I??
I was googling hydraulic cylinders and now guess what kind of adds i get ? It was only research for my M4 dozer for cripes sake ! FOTKI is another pic sharing site .
Get a pro account? I never see ads. But 99% of my uploads come out of mobile apps or through the iPhoto plugin.
panzerpilot Whenver I try to upload a pic on there, the ads start right when the pic is done uploading. I've found if you click on your album, it skips the ads. Never really paid any attention to them.

Lucky you. The ads are starting up even before my pics upload.... Pressing the "skip add" delays it by 15 seconds, as well as the upload.... I'll have to be patient I guess....

I never liked photobucket much. Flickr is definitely the best photo site IMHO.
I tend to skip them as well.
Offensive?,,,,,,,, not really sure what that could be,,, maybe I should try to take more notice (?)
Enjoy the ride!

Hi again,
I am not sure if you guys are seeing the same, I guess that Photobucket can tailor the ad's by IP or DNS server, but I am seriously offended by some of the commercial ad's.They are so offending I won't even try to translate them to you guys.It is so explicit I think it might even be a law offence in Sweden.I have pointed this out to the customer service people at Photobucket some 3 months ago and they promised to keep an eye on it but now the very same ad's are back.Can anyone of you recommend a different service provider, I have had it with Photobucket!Very Best RegardsJohan
