    I'm not sure that this recent (10 mins ago) google ad is suitable for here, here's a screenshot.

    I put that URL in just to see and agree with Steve - it's not the sort of gardening I would condone.

    I'm not suyre but I dont think admin have seen this Marley...

    This has been appearing sporadically since I posted above and its not my idea of gardening...the cultivation of illegal substances. Another screenshot from 5 mins ago.

    Although I know its not true, it does say that GC condones growing marijuana...how many minors visit this gardening site and now think its "okay" to grow drugs?

    Can we do something about removing this rubbish please?

    Steve...:)

    Whoops!! Sorry, Steve :( :hehe:

    But isn't that like the 'pot' calling the kettle black. I heard that in the Cockermouth area (what sort of name is that for a town?) if you wanted to get hold of anything that is a bit out of the ordinary then Steve's your man. :rotfl: :rotfl:

    It is OK Steve Webmaster is aware of it & taking steps, even so, trying to prevent it seems to be another kettle of fish....... :scratch: Don't worry we are aware everyone.....:thumb:

    Removing or temp disabling the google adsense will remove it, then a strong mail to google about how Illegal drugs should not be showing on gardening sites...ask them do they support illegal drug distribution?

    I've just seen the link tonight for the first time and went for a little visit to their website. Interesting...marijuana seeds for £43.00!

    Nevertheless, the link is still showing and available for anyone using the forum. In case Admin/Webmaster can't find it, here's the page that the advert takes you to

    http://www.weedworld.co.uk/marijuana_seeds/?&gclid=CIisz4LHoqACFZJr4wodGwQjag

    Not very appropriate really!

    Edited to add - there's a link to soft porn on that website - 'Sonia's Skunk' as it's called.

    Now...I promise I'm not being a nag, but this advert is still showing on various locations on the forum.

    Agatha, I'm so sorry. We've been working on the forum base and seems like, in trying to fix a few things, some others have come unstuck! We'll look into it.

    Thank you so much! I hope you can fix it soon!

    It's a funny thing, you know, that you have to find another means of communication in a forum where attached pictures would count so much in a discussion...
