New Ad's ~ Question

jkpjohnson · #1 (**permalink**) 04-25-2009, 10:05 PM

Just wondering what is up with the new ad bar ? Also I was viewing a freebie post and all the sudden the post turned into a huge ad for SafeNet. I mean it consumed the entire post (not just a pop up) , I thought maybe it had a timer on it, no.

Please explain the new ads, can we get rid of them somehow (if we want).

Due to the Economy, and the increase in expenses (they doubled when we changed servers in Feb), We are currently in the process of switching to another advertising medium. The fluctuations you are seeing is the result of 2 advertising mediums running on the same page. (Some ads are active, some are not, etc). Because we have well over 17,000 pages and only 1 me, this process is expected to take approximately 2 weeks.

On any ads that automatically expand, there is always a checkbox (usually in the top right or bottom right of the box) to close them.

My computer has a blocker on it to block pop ups. Wondered if you could set yours to block pop ups too? I haven't had any problems at all.

I had this happen to me, that the ad took up all of the posts. If you click on your browser refresher button it goes away.

Yeah, figured it out. It only happens the 1st time you open the posts.

Thanks, thought it was only my PC.
