The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Well, when I logged onto my Hot Mail account, instead of my in box opening up, I got one of those "Look how we've upgraded ...........ect. pages". I then went to my in box and everything seems the same except there is an annoying scrolling series of advertisements occupying close to 1/4 the page, to the far right. Any body know how to shut down the scrolling ad's and put the page back to how it used to be?

    That's odd. Can you take any kind of screenshot of what you are seeing? I have three accounts on Hotmail and I believe they all migrated to the latest version but none of them show any excessive ads.

    It's just from the top to the bottom of the page about 2 inches wide. And this is windows live hot mail.

    Agreed, I see one "Box" ad on the right of the "welcome" page. Then a banner on the top when I switch to the inbox. :)

    If you activate Ad-Block plus, the ad disappears. :)

    Well, I see I have to use Firefox in order to install Ad-Block plus.
