The Ads are back

By CarGuy1 Posted March 14, 2008 08:06:02

At first it was only occasionally. Now they are back on every page in the forums. Can Andrew look at this, please?

BTW...Yes, I've logged out and back in, cleared cookies and cache.

Edit: Right after I posted this, the problems seems to have fixed itself. Go figure.

I don't see the ad's.

I don't see them, either.

Neither do I, but it does seem a transient problem as I have had the same problem in recent weeks.

Sign Up or Login and this ad disappears!
There are many great features available to you once you register. Sign Up for a free account and browse the forums without ads.

They come and go! Clearing cache and log out/in usually fixes it

I made a similar post the other day. It seems they erraticly show up now and again and just as quickly vanish. I was just glad to find out they weren't actually the sponsor spots we were told about.(they always showed up under the guise of sponsor.)
I guess it's just a glitch.

For what it is worth . . when reporting this type of thing . . including some basic data might help.

Since it was brought up again.

Still having this problem also. Comes and goes often.

Using:

XP Home Edition

It happens, in both Firefox 2.0.0.12 and Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.11IC, on any page at different times and clearing cookies/cache and logging off and back in hasn't made any difference.

Same problem here. Intermittent over past few days. Using XP home with latest release of IE7. Did the usual things like clearing cookies etc. to no avail.

The other problem I'm having is when I click Recent Forum Activity it takes me to the main Forum board instead of the recent threads. When I click Recent Forum Activity a second time it usually rights itself.

I was having the ads problem yesterday, I use SDC and it's web browser. Deleting cookies created by the forum, logging out, clearing out IE7 browser stuff (not sure on that) and logging back in has cleared it up. It was happening about every hour to two hours yesterday. So far no problems this morning.

For what it's worth, andrew has been updating the forums pretty steadily from the major update last week. You may be getting some cached love from those. Not sure . . but it seems to be related.

some cached love

We all need a bit of that

He has even put up his own ads in between the loading of pages.

I only saw it yesterday because the pages were loading so slow

cached love

That's only legal in Las Vegas.

He has even put up his own ads in between the loading of pages.

Now that's funny.

Ads back just now here.
IE7, Vista Ult 32, fresh login after cache clear.
Space for ad on top mostly no ad but on right ads by google has ads most of time.
Current 13.20 GMT
Seems mostly on home and forum pages than on gallery pages.

Ads are back in the forums...again.

You guys pulling another April fools day joke on us?

I've still been getting them on and off the whole time.

Same here. Just cleared my cache etc etc and they are still there. IE7 latest build, XP SP2.

They do seem to be coming back, been using Impulse now instead of SDC. I've been able to get rid of them by running CCleaner, my new favorite toy.

Just cleared my cache etc etc and they are still there.

Same here....and I'm sick & tired of those ghastly yellow 'All Car Sound" ads.

If I wanted to see that much yellow... well I'd breed canaries.

From FF3b5 if I sign out (still in forums) then immediately sign back in, they disappear ( for a while at least)

Damn ads are back again. This really pisses me off

I don't see any at all ... WC Subscriber, IE7 ,Deepnet Explorer , Avant ~ Signed in ...yada, yada ...

Damn ads are back again. This really pisses me off

I haven't got them at the moment, but yeah, they're a pain in the rectum when not supposed to see them as subscribers.

What really gets to me is that yellow flash ad down the right hand side! You see, my left eye is stronger than the right one... and when that damned ad starts flashing, my right eye twitches faster than the back legs of a horny cricket.
