I notice a banner at the top of my forum which says "Undress Me." Since young people visit my forum I wonder if they click on this banner they might be taken to a "unsuitable/risky" website?

Does anyone know?

I'm not sure but this could be the forumotion advertisements.
Ads removal is the only way to remove them .

Is this appearing under the forum's banner and navigation menu?

If this is an AD and its inappropriate, the best thing I was told to do would be to give the forum url and screenshot of the image to administrator (can't remember if it was a pro admin on here but we don't have one currently) and they'll see if they can take out of selection.

This is the URL for the abobe "ad:"
http://luvcow.com/wiz/step1?499

Also see several blocked pop-ups (which I think might harm my computer or visiting students computers)
What are they?>

Would it be an inappropriate site for youngsters? This is the URL for the Ad:

P.S. Any comment on the "blocked" items?

Well you might want to wait for an official comment but you could consider the option of what I said above about trying to get the inappropriate ads removed.

Yeah. Agree. For now, let's wait for staff to reply.

Does anyone have any comments on the "blocked" items I referred to above and whether they could be harmful to my (or students) computers?

You could always do a Google search to see if the links are harmful.

As far as I know, forumotion uses Google Ads which are solely based on your own browsing history, cookies, etc.

Disabling ads is still a good thing to have on your forum.

from what i seen when clicking to the link it is nothing pornographic or inappropriate , i doubt you would ever see any inappropriate ad's on forumotion. Like said above forumotion use Google ad's and only select the categories that are appropriate for all. Also keep in mind it is Google who selects what ad's are going out at any given time. So if there ever was something inappropriate then you would have to do what was said above by providing the url to where the ad leads to and a screen shot so forumotion can have Google remove it.

Other then that i do not see any harm in this ad.

For the blocked items, i would suggest browsing in private mode to prevent cookies from being stored and be sure they are using a good virus protection.

This is just an advertisement.My Forum do the same.All Forum can have that advertisement.If they(your Forum visitors) undress them,at the final cloth,you will open some webpage.Someone at my Forum try it,and plus,the loading at the page have a long time to get it not buffering again.Just ignore the advertisement.

Whether the URL that it goes to is appropriate or not, the image in the ad itself is suggestive & not appropriate for younger viewers (or their parents standing behind them) that might get the wrong idea

There is nothing at all wrong with it.
It is basically standing as a PG 13 rating or just PG.
There is nothing inappropriate about it and is a person fully clothed and not even sexually segestive ? You can see more skin in sports illustrated magazine ad.

With that said there is no reason to leave this thread open and dwell on it.
Forum owners can either reduce the amount of flash ad's or simply buy credits to have them removed completely .

I mean if the ad was to lead to something inappropriate or of adult content then of course it would be reported and removed. But this is not the case.
