As cool as the cycling ride through South America sounds, I thought part of the reason I paid this money was so that I didn't have to see advertisements. So what's the deal?

I've seen ads for tours through Africa and Istanbul as well. These shouldn't be there.

That ad is supposed to be configured for global ignore on upgraded members.....it's a technical difficulty and will be addressed.

You aren't supposed to see it if you have either upgraded membership, and we will fix it.

Upgraded membership as in that ******ed titanium upgrade, or a regular red star upgrade?

As in both.....

Red stars aren't supposed to see it nor are the titanium members. As I said, it's a glitch and will be fixed.

The AdBlock extension for FireFox will get rid of it......

What are the chances that IB just added ads for everybody and didn't tell anyone, including the admin's?
