Default Ads disappear for some reason then reappear.

See post 20!!!


Just started for me in the Lounge... Every thread I opened.

Everything fine for about an hour and then...

Apparently it's in multiple areas, Not just the Lounge!

So far it appears one time between the OP and the first reply and the AD changes to match what's down the left side.

If you contribute at the Bronze Level ($30 a year which equates to $.0822 a day) all the ads will disappear.

This is correct, with the exception of the header ad.

I'm seeing new banner ads at the top of the screen today. The ads block out the S&W header.

Are you saying that the ads in the middle of a thread were purposely put there? Maybe you should be getting more from the advertisers because you're giving them double the space for the same ad.

Ads at the bottom, ads in the middle... Constantly and consistently...

(No) Cheers!

P.S. They even often block the "Post Quick Reply" button...

Ads will appear at the bottom if you are not a donor.
If a donor has any ads besides the leaderboard (ad at very top of page), please post a screen shot.

Not a donor, but this is a bit much.

The ad man says:
Quote:
Hi Lee – if Chad or anyone else sees the ad with audio (or any other problematic ad) it would be helpful if they can click the ad and copy and paste the landing page URL, that should make it easier for us to track it down. Thanks!
PLEASE do that-
click the ad and copy and paste the URL address of that ad in this thread. TELL US where the ad was on your screen.

Right above the blue line that has the links Forum, User CP Pictures & Albums, Community and Log Out. A banner that takes up about 3/4 of the screen width up to the line under Reply to thread and Notifications. Clicking on it leads to a full page ad. The banner is active and constantly changing. Every post or forum page brings up a different one.

I posted a screen shot in post #1 of this thread. For me it always appears between the OP post and first reply.

I couldn't care less about the ads at the top,side or bottom but in the middle of a thread is ridiculous.

There are actually 4 separate ads appearing for me.... Here is the link to one of them.

You can put lipstick on a pig, but how can you put lipstick on a pop-up ad...?

Sorry, I forgot to answer this.
Yes, they were put there intentionally.
That is almost universal on the net today. I see ads in that position within threads on just about every forum I visit.

I have no clue why ads occasionally disappear for you.
