Highly Annoying Advert on CR4 Home Page

02/02/2013 3:00 AM

That obnoxious Honeywell advert in the middle of CR4's Home Page? Is there any way to tone down this cheesy bit of strobe-light caca to more humane levels? Thanks!

I don't ever see any adds banner or otherwise.

I use firefox with addon noscript and cookie monster. Blocking some java scripts prevents the site from taking control of my confuser. I do have to enable the main CR4 java script (for posting). All this because I have dial up, but with a 28Kbit connection, I can surf faster at home then with the Megabit connection at work.

I see ads on the side. They don't annoy me and some are interesting. Some are even related to my work. I don't have inside information but it is reasonable to assume that the ads pay the server and bandwidth bills that make the CR4 web site possible. Thus, I am happy that there are ads on the side of the page.

I am actually on my computer now because I am trying to find a CR4 ad that I saw about 2 months ago. I now need to design it into a product at work and I never made a note of it.
