The Staff keeps it professional in announcing it, but when the *****ing starts pouring in they always give off the "It's not that bad, and we're making more money this way, so get used to it" vibe when responding.

110% true and agreed!

edit: it helps to listen to your customers, not just make money!

double QFT! I see that even when 90% of people don't like it, still nothing has changed....

[cww516]

same story as .50, the money is with the new players who don't know any better, and the turnover rate is so high that it doesn't make sense to try to cater to the experienced players. that's business for ya.

Kyle,

The screenshot below is the religious advertisement I made reference to.



The advertisement image originates from the following URL:

http://1.download.advertise.myspace....d5e5_final.jpg

The advertisement links to the following URL:

http://delb.opt.fimserve.com/lnk/?k=...-hidden-bible/

Please let me know if there is anymore information that would be useful to controlling such ads.

[Kyle]

Hm, we've shut off that ad once before, I don't know how it is sneaking through again. I'll pass the info along and see if we can nail it again.

[H3rEye51nRoam]

Kyle,

Any suggestions on how to obtain information from flash based advertisements to assist with having nuisance ads removed?

Unfortunately, I'm having issues with talking ads again. This time around it has been the square advertisement as opposed to the rectangular advertisement across the top of the browser.

[H3rEye51nRoam]

Kyle,

The screenshot below is yet another one of the flash based religious ads I have been bombarded with.

[Kyle]

Darn it, we turned off one of the adnetworks tonight to see if we could nail that ad, but apparently it's on another network. I'm working on tracking it down.

[CS@PbNation]

Yep, I know what network we are getting these from now. Getting closer to solving the riddle.

Thanks
Ed

What AV are you using again? The warning I recall you posting seemed like it was your AV being overprotective, and not indicative of any actual virus activity.

[Tracker]

fair enough,, it very well coould be over protective, but i get 2 popups everytime, and it doesnt matter if i check (remember this action everytime for this file) i still get them

im using anti-vir its alerting about the cookies that its trying to put on my computer, ill do my best to dig up everything i can and post it up

Tracker

[Tracker]

okay here are the usual virus popups the braketed number changes, but everything else stays the same

here is what antivir has to say about it

here is the top banner at the time

and here is the bottom banner


ive had it pop again a couple times a row in the last few minutes
ill edit more in here of what the current ads were when it popped
starting to see a trend involving the weight watchers banners
also system is internet explorer 8.0.7600.16385, system is windows 7 64-bit, using the non 64bit IE browser


format will be "top-big square-bottom"
intel-intel-weight watchers
AT&T-kin-weight watchers
AT&T-intel-weight watchers
internet explorer 8.0-AT&T-weightwatchers
AT&T-earthshare.org-w hotels

It looks to me that your AntiVir goes off every time an ad gets loaded via an HTML iFrame. What the ads there are doing is perfectly harmless but your AntiVirus stuff is overreacting. If this were more wide spread other than whatever antivirus software that is, we'd probably be hearing about it, so I'd assume it's safe for you to ignore (or consider switching your AV software to something like the free Microsoft Security Essentials) which doesn't throw a false positive like this.

Meh, don't like the new lay-out at all.

And I agree with most people here - why have a comment section when you won't listen? Might as well just have the announcement and turn off the comments.

It's a designated place for people to pointlessly ***** in.

Sort like why we have Small Talk - If we didn't, the idiocy would infect other subforums. This way, it's localized.

[tramp stamps R cool]

hey is there anyway we can choose between the new layout or the old one
because the new one rapes my margins

Did the quick bump buttons disappear for anyone else in the User CP page?

The quick bump is part of the BST Trust program. You're no longer a BST Trust subscriber, which is why they disappeared for you.
