I like most of Annies Attic's 'pattern of the day' patterns. However, what is with those gigantic ads that appear...in the middle of the pattern...even in the printer friendly version? Such a waste of printer ink.

Unfortunately, I'm using Webtv...the time it would take me to cut/paste, I could have crocheted the pattern! LOL

:hug shoot, well thats a bummer:no sorry hon

For me the ad is at the bottom of the page under the pattern, so not too big a deal, I can just highlight the text and print the selection...unfortunately with the ad in the middle of the pattern, that wouldn't work so well.

i thought it was on my computer only. it's good to know that someothers are having the same problem.

I always save the pattern in Word and the ads would be doubled when I pasted the pattern. it does let me get rid of them though.

 

My black ink cartridge costs as much as the printer costs new (just black, not colour) and I am not wasting ink on someone ele's advertizing.

The ads annoy me too! However if they weren't there, we would probably be paying to use the site! I wish they wouldn't put it in the middle of the pattern, at least on the printable version. I usually cut and paste also.

[GinaLaughed]

This is a major pet peeve of mine as well!

 

Isn't the whole point of 'printer friendly' so that our ink is not wasted? I can understand the ads being there for the regular version but not on the 'printer friendly' version. Why do they even bother to make a printer friendly page?

 

Alright everybody....go to the Free Pattern of the Day page and click on their 'Customer Care' page and email them about it! I just did!

They must have heard you!!!

Check out today's (September 24) pattern...Mile-a-Minute Afghan

[GinaLaughed]

Oh Whoa! No way! That was quick! They never responded back to me...other then the standard auto response of we'll get back to you later. This is a first!

[Hounddog]

I agree it does waste space I have tried to make the selection on the pattern only but it doesn't work sometimes.

The colors in the ad waste a lot of ink

I guess it was too good to be true. The ads are back for tomorrow's pattern of the day.

When you're copy/pasting the pattern into Word, dont highlight the entire page and then copy. Use your mouse to copy just the text (and whatever pictures and graphs they have) and stop before you get to the ads. Paste it into Word, and then go back and get whatever important text they put below the ads.

 

If you copy/paste everything on the page, you can still delete the ads. Just right click on the advertisement once you have everything in Word, and you get a gray menu box that will give you an option to delete the picture (the advertisement)

I have done that second technique a couple of times for patterns that aren't too large. but I find it isn't worth it for the couple of seconds it takes to hit the delete button when you have a lo-o-o-o-o-o-ong pattern to get highlighted and pasted.

Received a reply from Annie's Attic that suggests cut/paste and there is no way they can remove ads. Guess we're stuck with those GIGANTIC ads in the middle of the patterns!
