FYI, the technical support forum is kind of hidden so it makes sense why some people haven't found that thread on their own.

Please can we get rid of the Hotels.com ad? The same one featuring the pregnant lady appears repeatedly, on every page, multiple times during a browsing session on the site. It's massively overexposed and the same ad runs on SimplyFlying, YouTube and other sites multiple times for the entire time I'm on those sites. I probably see it 60-70 times in a single session, Seeing the ad once is fine, but anything over that causes a consumer just to tune out the advertiser's message.

I thought ads on sites like this were supposed to be tailored to a user's interests? I get that a hotel ad ties in with flight and travel, but the identical ad dozens of times in a single session? What's that trying to sell me? On using Booking.com?

This thread is about how to make the Information Desk forum more useful, not complaints about the website design.

Feel free to raise the issue in the Technical Support forum, but my guess is that Internet Brands is using an ad company like Google, so they may not have much control over the ads that individual members see.

There used to be a feature to ignore threads so you won't see them if you have no interest. Has that functionality been removed as well?

This thread is about how to make the Information Desk forum more useful, not questions about the technology, which can be directed to https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/tech...-feedback-386/
