It appears to me that Pro members start to see more and more ads on their pages as well now.
I also suspect more tracking cookies eminating from FT.
Last nite I ran a scan on my machine. The scan found tracking cookies, which it eliminated.
After the machine was totally clean once again, I visited Fotothing and nowhere else.
Afterwards I found some of the same tracking cookies again.
It is not that these cookies are of great concern to me, they are easily cleaned, yet it shows activity to that extend eminating from FT.
I just now checked my FT homepage and this is what I found:
on the very top: 2 links: "Top online Photo Service" and "You'll love a Mac"
Just above my photos:
5 Google links: PSP Tubes, PSP Brushes, PSP Graphics, PSP Frames, PSP Picture.
to the side of my comments:
4 Google links:
"Digital Photo Album", "Free Photo Software", "Amateur Photographer", "Desktop Photo Studio"
Pro member pages ad free???
Not totally:):):)

One of the reasons to go pro was because you didn't get the ads and were making a bigger contribution to funding fotothing which covered their absence.
I refuse point blank to click on any ad appearing on my fotothing pages.

There is NO adverts on Flickr for Pro users!

It's not just feedback. One of the benefits of going PRO is to not see ads.
Please un-try it.

they have been on mine since the start , they usually pop up when i switch between links , i will have to scan computer to check it out thanks every one , not good if we pay premium price and they are also selling ad space , would be good if it was photo links that would make web more usefull or posibly profitable for us rather than just a blog site.

Hmm forcing more people to go pro because of their reduced upload limit and yet still accept the ads...
Yes un-try it please!

If you look at the Upgrade to Pro page, the benefit of no ads is no longer listed. Looks like more than a try to me.
I don't like this trend.
Again, please un-try it

I have been thinking of upgrading to Pro......this has just changed my mind.....
Another consiquence of the tracking cookies is that for anyone like me who runs software to block tracking cookies the whole site is now running slower. :((
Please un-try it.......
