The inquirer poke fun at Hexus

Well that's a bit petty, considering how much we reference and link to them.

We? roffles

[Tarffie]

That's daft, it's dark green so it doesn't make it hard to read and if you don't like the adverts popping up then keep your cursor away from them. Not difficult.

[yamangman]

They were poking fun by embellishment. Is it so tough to understand?

[TiG]

Its better than they lime green rubbish on that page heh.

As a serious point thoughI do think tech sites need a more developed buisness model though that the multi page mega add-fest though. But don't ask me what that is

[father smurf]

of course the inkwirer never has destracting adverts on their site...

[Whiternoise]

bit harsh there.. sorry, what did hexus do wrong?

[herulach]

tbh i also find the adwords pretty damn annoying. especially the new style pop up and take over a couple of inches of screen type. Suppose its a test of mousing skills to get to the real links without hitting any. And at least they 're a different colour to the actual links, unlike on some sites.

If you use firefox you can download the 'Adblock' extension and it will block all the underlined link text that you mention.

True, but i like to not block ads from sites i like, idont know if hexus are payed per word rather than per click on those (i think thats how they work), but i generally dont block hexus ads, except for that bloody stupid sky hd one.

However if anyone can confirm that they are a pay per click thing, then im happy to block away, as i never ever click the things ever.

Which deprives Hexus of funds that keeps the site going ...

"hexus spanks the enquirer's botty" ...i believe

[killkoy]

just one sec, they're complaning about adds on hexus page when, because of their adds, i had to read ths article from a 1.5 inch column with a very,very anoying flashy thing on the right, lines like this ocurred at least twice on their page '); document.writeln(''); // --> and their articles are just generally annoying.

they're just jelouse that hexus is a better site

The joys of javascript...











(adblock is nothing to do with underline links)
