Feb 28 2010, 12:34 AM EST
this is kinda messed up. why do i have to pay to get rid of those pesky ads? my computer says that some wetpaint sites are dangerous to my computer, and no i have like 500 trojans from just going on my fav site. i dont even click on the adds, and now my computer is slower and some things are really getting messed up.

Well, Wetpaint has to make money, or Wetpaint would cease to exist. Would it not? That is the way it is. Upgrade your flash player to keep from getting trojans. Try changing what ads show up. To do so, do the following: 1.) Got to Name & Logo under Settings. 2.) Scroll down to where it asks what the site is about. 3.) Select something that is not already selected. (Note: Must be Administrator or above.) Also, visit this page: http://www.wetpaintcentral.com/page/Wetpaint+Alerts Do you find this valuable? |

I don't mind the ads per se but I don't want those with sexual overtones - subtle or otherwise. I am trying to set up a site to use with my students but if I can not stop the inappropriate ads am liklee to be told to stop using the Wetpaint site.What options do I actually have? 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

Wow. Why do we have to pay? I mean seriously. It dosen't sound like a place to make free websites. I thought that it was free. Not to pay for anything. But I guess you don't want to listen to anyone.

Creating your website is completely free, the ads pay for your wiki. To have them removed is a premium service you are not required to pay.Community Moderator Shadowmlb Do you find this valuable? |

Did you know that private sites do not have ads. They are removed at advertiser's request. So if you do not mind having your wiki set to private and allowing your members to join by setting the site permissions to public while they join, you can enjoy a site free of pesky ads.

If you use FireFox, you can use their ad block:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865/ An alternative to making your site private if you do not want to have to change back and forth. Do you find this valuable? |
