...the Advertisements with the half-naked girl modeling the tiny swimsuits?

My co-workers keep thinking that I'm visiting naughty sites. And if that keeps up, I won't be able to visit or play.

The Transistors, RPG, and Toy Store ads are okay, but the bikini village ads need to cease and desist.

Word.

I don't know about ie but if you use firefox you can right click and block the image

I don't think there is anything to do other than rescale the page so that it is only visible if you scroll all the way over.

For what it's worth though, I have had the same concern.

Same here as well. I just told them that I was doing my swimsuit shopping early. I would however love to be able to block the pictures that I don't want to see and never see them again. I believe with IE its either a everything or nothing type deal. I remote to my home computer from work so I can get around the web filter and anything that has any motion on it tends to slow my connection down a ton.

They're pretty much controlled by Google ads. I don't think even Ryan has any control over them.

Bummer. Mega-bummer.

My boss has come over twice and asked me about my internet site visits. If it keeps up, I might get a verbal and/or written warning.

We're only allowed to use IE, so I guess I'm scriznewed.

Yeah, I said it. "Scriznewed."

Word.

If you have admin privileges on you machine, as in can edit everything on it, I may have a way

I don't. I guess, its just a matter of wait and see. :sad:

All I know is its getting more than one of us in trouble at work. My boss has done the same thing to me as Quietstorm's did. There has to be some way for Ryan to fix it.

Where are these adds you speak of? I'd like to see them... so I can block them, of course. :WHISTLE:

The who, that what, the when? Bikanini Village People?

There's a whole lotta m'huh?!?!? :???:

Fortunately my boss plays HMW as well and I know not of these ads you speak of.

No not really.
Who needs to formally request internet activity logs when a glance at your team sheet tells you what you need to know.
Especially since every mission I've been in against him I utterly pwned him.

That must lead to difficult productivity review meetings...

The hottie in the bikini appears on the right side of the screen ever so often. Under the Transformerscon box.

Don't guess the ads vary with the user's location?

Personally I like the picture of the girl in the swimsuit
and have no desire for it to go away.

Sometimes she appears on the left side. I guess she gets around a bit more than the other ads.

My productivity is not monitored or reviewed by what I do but what effect I have on our cashbooks. :grin:

It's probably been over an hour since she showed up on my screen last.

What about the rest of you?

Maybe someone did something?

Me, I'm playing this game with all pictures (and animation too) turned off in IE settings. It helps a lot.

When I need to see what altmode or faction the selected target is, I do it manually (rightclick -> show picture).

And it conserves traffic, too.

Occasionally, she appears and right when my boss is walking behind my terminal. This woman has the worst timing in the world.

I'm thankful I don't have internet at home, or I'd have a lot of 'splaining' to do to my new wife.

Word.

She just reappeared on my end as well.
