3RD IF THERE IS SOMETHING I NEED ILL LOOK/POST AND ASK

PLEASE DONT POST ANYMORE!!!!!!!! I UNDERSTAND YOUR TRYIN TO GET BUISNESS, BUT IF I DIDNT ALLREADY HAVE THEM I WOULD LOOK YOU UP FOR WHAT THINGS I NEED.

I've gone through and blocked them all, then deleted it. Now I hardly get any ... it's a bit of a hassle having to do it the first time, but it really cuts down on the adverts, I've only had a couple over the last week.

i think it is annoying aswell. i have deleted and blocked some aswell just takes so long! at the bottom of advert is says about blocking them and just click it x

i do it every now again but it is a pain. i wish we could just change settings or something to stop them would be so much easier x

thats ok! i think it prob annoys most people when you get a link or something on your wall and then you cant find it! x

I think you are referring to our 'Shout Outs' - this is where local businesses (and some National), can send a message (and can include a photograph), to make you aware of their products or services.

We have an overwhelming positive response to these messages. And don't forget we want UKbride to be FREE to join, but we have to earn money somehow, we have tried to make sure that our advertising is subtle and useful.

If you are really not happy, then you can block.

i like that tey are advertising but have to agree, i do get the same ones over and over which is a bit annoying! i didnt know you could block them, but do now so im gonna start doing it! x

like i said it wouldnt be as bad and i know they have to make there buisnesses known but to repost the same thing over and over is really annoying i have only been on here a few months if that and have over 30+ pages allready i have spent two days deleting and now blocking and deleting its soooooo annoying im coming across msgs i didnt even know ppl had sent me x

i have been blocking today...do it every so often but there are so many!! xx

J not one single advert on my wall has been for anything local, since i joined here! that and what usually is posted is waaaay out of my price range. theres already adverts down the left hand side in the forum etc so is more advertising necessary on our walls too?
tbh i wouldnt entertain the idea of using one of these suppliers repetitively posting on my wall because i dont like being hounded and would prefer to find companies and products myself. its the same reason why i turn away door to door sellers, if i wanted what they were selling i'd go and find it myself.
I understand that you want to keep the forum/site free etc, running a forum myself i completely understand. BUT you already get money from these companies for them to be in the ukbride supermarket etc so a few less ad's would be really nice! If nothing else can there not be a simpler way to block and delete these ad's rather than us having to block and delete them one by one- it takes ages!

i took ages going through deleting all the old adverts etc. that i didn't want on my wall - didn't realise you could block them

I wish they wouldn't post them to the wall - be nicer if there was just a page on this site for lots of adverts like there is the suppliers page. A lot of the adverts that get posted on my wall are out of date too

Think I will blockfuture advertisers as I have most things too and hate going through all the crap i don't need x

mel that happened to me too while ive been dejunking :@ x

they get to advertise on the site e.g. down the columns next to the forum and with the new discount thing and the fact that we have supplier search facilities i don't see why they should post on our walls freely. Would be nicer if we had a check box system where you can select what type of suppliers you want to hear from and uncheck all the ones you have booked so you aren't bombarded

Could be a suggestion for IT Man to have a look at although he does have a never ending list of things to do for UK Bride x

id rather pay and not have them advertsing than be free and have it everywhere i look :@ and sayin that i have actually paid :p x

are they actually local to anyone cause there not to me either x

What I find annoying is the fact that even though I have blocked some (one which is a bridal shop that I went to and they were rude to me) still comes up even though I know I have pressed the block button on more than one occasion. The reason I notice it so much is the fact that I hate that shop so much just because of the way I was spoken to and every time I see the add it makes my blood boil.

I've just checked my wall and I have 55 pages of adverts, I must admit I don't delete regularly. I've just spent half an and managed to delete only 5 pages... it's an all day job I think and I haven't got all day! It's annoying, but a part of being on here I guess!

I had 109 pages of adverts, I have spent the last week deleting. I loose interest having to check the cross, wait for the are you sure box to come up and then wait for the page to reload. So far I am down to 70 pages. It would be nice if you could check at least a whole page before being asked if you are sure! Like you do on email!

Okay let me explain how this works.

The adverts on your wall are called 'Shout Outs' - Suppliers can send ONE Shout Out per week. We do suggest to our advertisers that they should consider changing their advert to create more interest (but have no control if they choose not to).

We have been very strict in not letting advertisers bombard you in this forum, but you have to understand they need to make a living. Our unique service presents their business directly in front of brides in their catchment area.

Advertisers choose which marketing radius they want to promote their business (typically a 25 mile or 50 mile radius of their business' postcode). So if you see a Shout Out and you feel they are miles away they are still happy to provide their service.

stressed to max b2b says - id rather pay and not have them advertising than be free and have it everywhere i look :@ and sayin that i have actually paid :p x

I have checked this with IT Man (IT God), we need funds to run this massive website, we spend £10,000 alone EVERY MONTH just promoting it, IT Man costs me a ****** fortune, and we have loads of staff. We didnt want to charge members to use UKbride but we can change the site for those who want to pay for an 'ADVERTISING FREE UKBRIDE' - We would need to charge £20 to switch the advertising off each year, (this would be in addition if you have paid to become a Power User).

Let us know if you are interested in paying for an 'ADVERTISING FREE UKBRIDE'...


Forum Poll

i dont even luk at that page 2 b fair lol

It is not the fact they post adverts but that they are amongst messages and links from other forum users. I often use the search facility for information and when I see someone posting a link about a product, idea or supplier on their wall my heart sinks as I know I will never find the information so people ask for the same links ets over and over again which blocks up the forum unnecessarily. If we had a wall for forum users and a seperate wall for suppliers I would be much happier with that as it would ease sharing information and you would not miss when someone posts. Thanks x

Bump

Give me your ideas to improve your wall and keep our clients happy!

Thanks x

sorry but i agree with mr potato head! J & everyone work their bútts off to keep this site running, its not easy designing a site etc (my h2b designs them in his spare time) these guys have to earn a wage somehow, and if they got rid of the advertising would you be wiling to pay their wages?

i got my photographer off an advert tho!!! and got gud deal wiv discount cos am off here

I ignore the advertising on my wall, 90% of the time the suppliers are no where near me but if they were local suppliers I'd have a look and check stuff out so I'm not sure if there's a way to do this? But I appreciate the guys who have created and working on this site are so busy trying to improve it so I think it's just one of those things you have to put up with one day they will get round to sorting this issue :-)
