We recently did some work with Google that has made the ads more relevant to the site.
Some Platinum Members, Sponsors, Admins, and Mods, need and want to see the ads, so now we give you an option to turn them on or off. Personally, I surf with them on, because I like to see what Google is going to show related to the thread topics and I like to make sure that our sponsors' ads are getting served correctly.
But, if you don't like them, it is easy to turn them off in your Member Control Panel. <p>To turn ads on or off, click on the dark blue "<a href="http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/usercp.php?" target="_blank">Profile</a>" link at the top of this page and every page. Then in the "Control Panel," select the "<a href="http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/profile.php?do=editoptions" target="_blank">Edit Options</a>" link. At the bottom of that page you will see the Miscellaneous Options section and the On/Off button for Site-wide Advertisements. Here's a shortcut to the "<a href="http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/profile.php?do=editoptions" target="_blank">Edit Options</a>" page. </p> <p>If you like seeing the ads from our sponsors, we hope you will visit their sites too since their support, just like your support and generosity, helps keep EliteFitness.com online. </p>
