Gmail ad's, catered to our mail????
-
Well, typically I just ignore the ad's on gmail, but today something caught my eye. Now my understanding was that google took your email, and grabbed tag words to determine what adds to deliver to you. Well, this one I've no freeking clue where it came from.
-
Quite obviously, gmail has detected that your time of the month is getting near again, due to the agressive and emotional emails you have been sending.
-
Nice. You know, you can turn off that top advertising bar by going into settings > web clips > uncheck 'show webclips'.
-
I am not sure the sponsored links are personalised from your emails, I thought it was just the side-bar ones. You can specify which type of clips appear in that bar in the settings.
It scares me a little that you have 1763 unread emails in your inbox...
-
I have 1058 unread mail, not including spam. It's mostly mailing lists I'm on but usually ignore, or emails like from facebook "So-and-so has written on your wall" where the subject line conveys all.

Strangeness.
Why did you modify the width and height of the image in HTML, if I may ask?
-
I think the forum does that.
-
Hard to say why they picked that without seeing the content of the email. You probably used words like "monthly", "visitor", "cycle", "track", or "red menace".
-
The fourm made it square by default, I had to mess with it to get an aprox correct aspect ratio, and it wouldn't let me enter 4 digit pixel width.. :-(

Just like how I keep getting bikini ads whenever I'm discussing programming?

Well that's weird. Time for experiments.
FFX, Win. Here's a non-square, small image without any tweaking in the image dialog; just pasting the url.
-
Now try an image with 4-digit width. Even better, try the same image that was posted at the start.

Again, I did not change anything in the image box. I just pasted the url and that's what came out.
WTF?
-
126px wide instead of 1268px. See what's happened there?

Swee fanc truncati, Batma!

Firefox w/o noscript; JS is enabled. No problems posting the image without the size tags.
W/ width 1200px

You really let your inbox get up to 1763 unread messages?
