Why is there a convert to Islam thing at the top of my screen?

BrevilleTron · 24/10/2014 23:38

Err may I ask why?
Or in the interests of equality can I have a 'convert to Catholicism' one too?

Y'know just to make it fair?

Weird!

Aren't ads generated by your own search history? I'm sure that's how it works!

PacificWerewolf · 24/10/2014 23:46

Have you been on the religion/philosophy board much lately?

I have ChadValley toys on offer on mine Grin

TakeMeUpTheNorthMountain · 24/10/2014 23:48

Mine is amazon. Which is not a bit surprising!

All I get is an anti-stretchmark cream.

I'm starting to think I should take the hint...

PacificWerewolf · 24/10/2014 23:51

Mine should be Amazon…ConfusedBlush

I have some comfortable shoes Hmm

BrevilleTron · 24/10/2014 23:52

Nope not been looking on anything religious at all. Just MN! The ads do change but how do I get it to stop
If it was porn I'd be feeling the same. It's not Islam itself but any religious matter advising me to convert does piss me off

I realise you can't convert to porn Blush

It would annoy me too, Breville

I meant the religion board on MN - not that that would justify the proselytising, but might explain it?

BrevilleTron · 24/10/2014 23:56

I don't think I've ever been on the religion board Pacific

And 'find happiness'??

No ta I'm happy the way I am

Tesco keep wishing me a happy diwali and telling me I can buy my diwali groceries online. I'm not a Hindu, but I do my groceries online at tesco.

You could 'report' your own OP to MNHQ and might get an answer quicker - particularly over the weekend.

Sorry, not sure what else to suggest.

BrevilleTron · 24/10/2014 23:58

No internet shopping and no one else uses my phone
I'm just MN and Harry Potter fan fiction

DO NOT google penguin bollards. They will be on your pop-up ads for weeks.

BrevilleTron · 24/10/2014 23:59

Thanks Pacific I'll do that

My advert keeps saying "ARE YOU FEELING LUCKY?" "YES" and nothing else Confused I've not been gambling or anything! Or looking at anything to do with luck unless you count horiscopes

BrevilleTron · 25/10/2014 00:01

Nooo I remember the penguin bollards
And the creepy children bollards

Now I really need to know what a penguin bollard is but I mustn't Google it. Curses!

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 25/10/2014 00:12

I've got ads for the MN academy - are they suggesting I needs edumacating?

mumwithanipad · 25/10/2014 00:24

I've got one for a free NBA trial. Never searched anything to do with NBA or baseball in my life.

Off to find out what penguin bollards are now. I shouldn't after the Dragon Butter thing a few years ago.

AdoraBell · 25/10/2014 01:03

I also thought the adds were generated by search history but I see adds for many local shops, in Chile, and on line universaties. I've never searched them as I never shop on line here. The one store I am registered with doesn't show up.

Do you UK MNers see an add for CASA ?

A free NBA trial? Are you in the US?


OP
you are looking at the site using a browser on your phone, not the app yes?

Hmm.

PacificWerewolf · 25/10/2014 11:39

The NBA has never offered me a free trial Envy

FamiliesShareGerms · 25/10/2014 11:54

I've got an ad for new kitchen doors at the top of my page Confused
