If you remember the ads in the back of old radio magazines, they were full of mail-order Japanese brides and other oddities.

I can remember when there were ads on this forum for Russian, Asian, etc. dating sites. At least those aren't showing up now. I know that the ads that pop up are because of sites we go to. Last year I bought my wife a Christmas present online of Hallmark Channel Christmas socks (that I've never seen her wear) that I didn't realize were coming from China. Now I get ads from all kinds of cheap Chinese clothing sites, which is part of what I'm getting here.

Sure enough the Hallmark socks ad popped up again. Those ads are misleading because they look like they're from an American company but then it turns out that the items come from China and take several weeks to arrive, with no mention that this is going to be the case. It's ads like that I wish I could block.

Also, I've tried clicking on the ads that I'm not interested in to send a message to Google, but it doesn't seem to help.

I miss being able to advance to the next topic or go back to the previous topic in a particular forum. Now I have to exit the discussion completely and go back to the index. Can this be restored?

Speaking of The Google, it seems convinced now that the legitimate forum update e-mails from here are now spam, and marks them with a big yellow banner when I open them in Gmail. Google's "solution" is to add the incoming address to my address book, but it's already there and has been for ages, so I don't know what else to do.

It's not sending the e-mails to the spam folder, just marking them with a big ugly banner saying it might be phishing or spam. It started with the switchover to the new board software.

I am looking into a solution for this annoyance. For the time being, please ignore the "warning."
 
Blue font color needs to be darker. Not quite as readable as old software.
