This is going to be a fairly short diary.
What I am describing may not show up for all kos users, but I am getting them everytime I enter the site, or change pages.
I refer, of course, to the flashing, blinking, CNN banner adds at the top of the page. Can these be eliminated? Like by paying a premium so I don't have to view them?
This is not just a quirk of taste: these things can be dangerous. Those who suffer from grand mal (a category including one member of my family) can be susceptible to seizures triggered by flashing lights, etc. A recent example was the animated Olympic logo display.
LONDON - An animated display of London’s jigsaw-style 2012 Olympics logo, which has drawn an unfavorable public response, was removed from an official Web site Tuesday following concern it could trigger epileptic seizures.
Epilepsy Action, a British health charity, said 10 people had complained about the animation and some had suffered seizures from watching images depicting a diver plunging into a pool.
I know the site has to generate revenue, but can't help thinking there's a better way.
