Am I being unreasonable? - to expect the adverts on MN to be in english rather than German?

Not really, I am assuming I must be going through a server in Germany or soemthing and that your software is clever enough to tailor adverts by geography? or not?

Does everybody have German adverts?
Should I be embarrassed to reaveal it's taken me all day to realise?
Why do I have adverts all of a sudden?

oh the questions!

Hello FFF,
If your work computer presents a "public" ip address that's in Germany, like because you work for a German company, then yes you might get German adverts. You might not have had them before if the ad serving company was not carrying anything aimed at Germany - there would have just been empty space. I'm in the US currently, and I get American ads (for similar reasons.)

Cheers,
Tech

Oh the questions indeed FFF. We'll have a look into this. Just to confirm, you're getting German ads through a UK computer?
Thanks MNHQ
