Politics or Pornography

Here's another one of those random photos that this site insists on posting when I first log in:

Is there any way to stop these annoying things?

This is from someone's photo album they uploaded to the site.
Apparently they need the graphical reminder of what to do.....

If I use Google Chrome I get annoying adds if it’s TOTV or ************* when I use Safari on Mac or IPhone I do not see any I do have pop up blocker activated onMac/iphone. Chrome does not provide that option. I’m sure sex aids don’t discriminate on political affiliation.

Its is not a Ad - it is a random photo from someone on TOTV.

I think you're overreacting. I find it much more artistic than pornographic, and while the subject matter may be inappropriate for a daycare or kindergarten class, come on now, this is a site for a 55+ community.

As one poster recommended, don't focus on it, just ignore it if you find it that disturbing.

Not random picture, it is an ad.
Click on next picture and so on, it will show the actual sofas that you can order from Butterfly Settees.com
Used to be able to do all that in a little old Ford Anglia!!

I have never seen that, but, lets remember that Advertising is very targeted. Just saying...

I use UBlock Origin on Chrome and never see any of these ads people complain about all the time. The admin will tell you that these ads pay their server costs - but they forget the payment only comes if you click on them. Since I NEVER click on ads, they never see a dime from me anyway.

No popups, no ads, and UBlock Origin is free. Just like AdAware and the dozens of other adblock extensions out there. I also use FBPurity on my Facebook page and never see ads there either.

The pictures that YOU see at the top of this page are not the pictures others see. They are based on cookies and sites you have
visited.

At the top of my page when I logged in just now are illustrations of furniture, candlesticks and lamps from "Colders". I have been looking at lamps.

Well I have never visited the "sex aids" website featured in the OP :-)

The line of photos is headed up "Random Album Picture" so, as others say above, it appears to be photos posted to the site by users, selected at random then shown to me when I log in to TOTV. Just by chance, the following is in the latest line up (which I'm sure you recognise):

I originally posted on this topic when one of the photos was clearly political. I have no feelings one way or another regarding politics but it seemed odd that, with the heavy penalties awarded should anyone post anything political here, the system itself can do so with impunity. Needless to say, that post disappeared within the hour.

I have solved the problem by changing the TOTV page which opens first - no more random photos for me!

The original question was Politics or Pornography. I vote Pornography, at least you know you are getting scr___d!

As others have said, what is seen at the top of the Forum Home Page are pictures that have been randomly selected by the forum software from members' albums, including sponsor-members (commercial). The pictures haven't necessarily been posted on the Forum. They're just in the members' albums.

Maybe someone who cares would like contact the administration and volunteer to go through all the members' albums, making decisions about what is acceptable for occasional, random viewing and what is not. Don't look at me.

Some see art when they look at pictures others see pornography in the same picture, I wonder who has the cleanest mind , I vote for Art

Exactly - Admin has no idea what they are putting up on our screens.

Maybe they should not, therefore, be extracting unknown photos and displaying them.

[New Englander]

I see it as adult art.

Maybe.

Or, knowing that this happens, we all factor it into our decision to visit this site.

i recommend your using private browsing-empty spaces where ads should be

I keep telling y'all that the photographs and albums of villagers is one entity seen at the top of this page and another is auto suggested by the browsing history of the viewer and no one else sees what she sees or he sees. I am seeing a lot of lamps. Been looking at them on line. You won't see my lamps. Only I can see my lamps. I can see your photographs which are randomly selected by this site. I can't see your dirty pictures.

BTW, they're dead sexy...
