السلام عليكم

Jazakallah to a member who informed me of advertisements on the Forum which I never noticed due to my web browser.

As other members may have noticed, there are now advertisements on the forum. After checking the forum updates I have found out that the host, freeforums, can now longer support the number of members it has without having sponsors and placing their advertisements on the forum.

There is a lengthy discussion on this on the support pages as many people joined the hosts due to the non-advertisement banners they promised.

However, a long topic cut short, the hosts have decided to have advertisement banners on the forums and the only change that may occur in the future is for the members to choose the category of advertisements that appear on the forum as well as where they are placed.

Personally I do not get to see these advertisements and therefore have been unaware of their presence on the forum. Therefore, I am also unaware of the content of these banners and whether they are suitable for an Islamic forum (as they do change from time to time).

Browsing regularly on the internet, I have noticed that there are many sites and forums that have advertising banners and have therefore chosen to use Mozilla Firefox with the Adblock Plus add-on. This add-on blocks any banner images and advertise on sites and forums and therefore I have not noticed the advertisements on this forum either.

Members can feel free to continue using their current browsers and ignore the banners or they can install the add-on given above if they are using Firefox as their web browser.

Insha Allah, I will keep members updated if there are any changes from the host regarding this matter. In the meanwhile, if members do find unsuitable advertises on the forum please do let me know.

Jazakallah.

و السلام
