I know I am guilty of going off at a tangent but does anyone else have these “odd” Blogs that seem to advertise products?

Not me Eirys...not yet anyway. Just flag it. These things happen on here from time to time. I havent had anything like it for ages, so I will probably get something soon!

You mean the 'Best Online Resource' and 'My Best Blog' blog that's up at the moment, Eirlys? I dunno if they're actually selling anything, haven't followed any links to check, which is why I haven't flagged, but I'm going to flag the Best Blog one cos its nothing to do with gardening and certainly not relevant for most of us. We all see the same site blog listings anyway, if that's what you mean, whether its a sales pitch or a member's blog

I flagged one of them I think it was selling guitars, although I didn't read it all so maybe it was something else. They come now and then but get deleted when flagged.
Everyone sees them.

Sometimes you might get a private message telling you things like the person enjoys your photos/blogs/ profile and wants you to send them your email address because they want to be your friend. Flag anything like that.
I once had a message from someone called Fifi who wanted to get to know me better. GET LOST ! lol :D

I've had several lately and flagged all of them. In fact I flagged two today.

Oooh Hywel- Fifi indeed - you missed a chance there, lol...

lol ... :D

Hywel!! Stera!! That made me laugh. Mind you, I once had messages from Barack Obama and David Cameron wanting to be my friends . I couldn't decide which one to choose (!) so I deleted both. :O)

I see the "Best online resources" listed, Bamboo, but don't click on them. When you say "Flag" can this be done without my reading them?

No private messages, except from people I "know" here!

This is a recent development on GOY for me. That is why I asked.

My thanks.

You have to click on the blog and scroll down to the end of it, where the Like button is - underneath that, there's a Flag button, and that's what you hit, takes you to another page and you say why you're flagging it.

I've been flagging them as well, but somebody seems to be asleep at the wheel, i.e. Kylemccaulley This ad has been up for ages. It's still up now! hello!! anybody home?? lol

18 Nov, 2017

 

there were a couple selling Halloween materials etc and I just flag them.
not seen kylemccaulley Bathgate. wonder if that is an American one.

Go to page 2 of picture gallery guy in suit

There is no one at the helm. They've dumped the site on one of their fathers and I don't think he's always around.

I flagged two a few days ago, they don't seem to be here any longer so guess the flagging worked, one was most inappropiate, won't say what it was because that encourages them back again, use your imagination....

Karen, you were the first to mention the phrase "Flag it". Hadn't seen that until I looked for it. (Wouldn't make a spy). Anyway thanks for the suggestion.

Bamboo. All done! Thanks

No, not at the moment, just adverts, can't do anything about those on my tablet,, but can on my computer,
Fifi !!!!!! wey hey Hywel.......nice to be wanted! lol

19 Nov, 2017

 

I don't want to be wanted by a Fifi DD lol :)

19 Nov, 2017

 

LOL, I remember that happening Hywel, it makes up laugh now but wasn't funny at the time when we thought our accounts had been compromised...

19 Nov, 2017

 

We have to be careful don't we.

page 2 of the picture gallery is an add for quilt fabrics for me Bathgate and as that is what I have been searching for I suspect that is why it is there.

19 Nov, 2017

 

Oh Seaburn now you've got me wondering what Paul has been searching for, sorry Paul I couldn't resist, lol.....

20 Nov, 2017

 

It was an ad for editing services - resume editing, business writing, etc. Did you see a guy in a suit? how strange.

20 Nov, 2017

 

Now there is another one that's been up for a while even though it's been flagged - Page 1 Elena15 Yahoo
