• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • Christian Forums is looking to bring on new moderators to the CF Staff Team! If you have been an active member of CF for at least three months with 200 posts during that time, you're eligible to apply! This is a great way to give back to CF and keep the forums running smoothly! If you're interested, you can submit your application here!

Highly distracting sounds in the background, for ads.

Lately when I am trying to pray for someone, or maybe debate a point, suddenly I hear this extremely distracting, and frankly highly annoying, sound associated with an ad. Friend, there are ads all over this site. That's your choice and your right, but don't you think that's enough without adding sounds that keep one from thinking very straight?

While I agree that it is a bit ridiculous, I would recommend trying adblock. I know that the admins probably do not like people recommending that plugin, but they need to tame the ads.

I apologize, unfortunately, due to the number of networks that advertise here, we ultimately have little control over the advertisements seen on CF. If it is more of objectionable advertisements, you are of course welcome to report advertisements as we cannot see them until after they are seen. You can do this by rolling over the ad with your mouse and noting the URL in the status bar at the bottom, and then copy the destination URL by right clicking and selecting "copy link address", then post this information in a Contact Us Form. There is also the option to Become a supporter, and browse CF ad free! In the meantime, what I would recommend to do if none of these are an option is to mute CF. If you are listening to music or something in another tab, you can do this (in Firefox and Chrome) by left clicking on the tab , and then selecting "mute tab".
