Cool. Just clicked preferences saved. I hope the changes to come in the future would also make the site more user friendly. This was quite useful of course.

Thanks very much for the option to screen out potentially NSFW ad skins. I'd just as soon not see them anyhow, and it really is a convenience that probably means I'll visit ANN more often if anything. Good move.

I have never seen an ad on the site so I'm assuming my ad-blocker is working pretty swell! But your efforts are still appreciated!

What's an ad? Is it that thing that shows up on Daisuki 'cause the video won't play without it?

Nice to see such an excellent source of my niche news truly taking feedback into consideration and definitively acting upon it.

Thanks so much for the option to turn off the in-text ads. I always got confused thinking they were links to another relevant article and the blasted pop up wouldn't go away unless you clicked the extra tiny X button on the corner. I'm so glad to see them gone. Thanks ANN!

Won't you lose money because of that? I can't imagine turning off add is okay with the advertiser…

Honestly add never bothered me, once your used to them they just disappear from your vision.

Thanks for the changes, the in-line ads made selecting text a pain and the more mature ads made things awkward at times.

Someone must've gotten fired because of the girls in swimsuits in the Ben-To ad. Laughing

Please tell me you are joking. Ad is short for Advertisement. And ads can range from something like this: to this: [img]http://www.brandchannel.com/home/image.axd?picture=2011%2F8%2Finfolinkss.jpg[/img] or videos ads known as commercials from anywhere like hulu or your tv.

Thank you ANN! This should also help for people whose internet runs slower when there's too much on a page.

Can there be an option to only have PG-13 ads Anime hyper

This is the best of both worlds, I get the great key-art from the anime ads, and without the text ads I can read the articles much easier.
Since you guys are going above and beyond, I'll make a conscious effort to click on interesting ads, and if I planned to purchase the item already I'll do it through the ad. It may be a small thing, but since you guys are really being awesome it's the least I can do.
