Default If an ad is *too* annoying, let us know! Based on feedback XoloX has scaled back!

Alright... we all know ads support free software. But this doesn't mean XoloX wants to make your experience annoying.
In response to user feedback and our own team's feedback we removed some of the ads and some ads from certain advertisers.

The floating ad on load that you see on most websites now a days - the one that floats in from the right of the screen , gone ( for now and maybe for good?)

The bonzia buddy skyscraper that flickered/flashed to no end that annoyed the hell out of everyone, that was set to lowest priority so you shouldn't see that ( or was it removed.. either way same result). Oooh and trying to make that space put to better use instead of just a skyscraper! *grin*

Popunders , they have been decreased to not launch 8 to 12 hours later when keeping xolox open. And to solve the issues that popunders would act as a very annoying popUP if XoloX was minimized( Boynamedsue figured that one out) , the delay of the popunder is no longer 3 to 10 mins.. you just get served One popunder after 1 minute and that's it.


Hope that helps.....
enjoy .

Hello, this is my first post on this BB, so hello to everyone, although i've been using xolox since version 1.18.
I've never had any real probs with xolox, and the upgrades have in my opinion only improved the system.
However, the ads have only got worse, I realise their needed for revenue, but please is there nothing that can be done with that absolutly anoying "Transfer box" ad?

Angry ADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also appreciate the fact that ads are here to keep XoloX free but the flashing has got to go. It gets to the point I cannot even look at the screen, currently you have 'Winner' flashing on the top banner and 'Work from Home' flashing on the right banner. It is too much, if these kinds of ads are going to remain then I will put up with spyware and go back to Kaazaa Lite!!!!!!!!!!
