Problems with a GateWorld Ad? - Provide Ad DETAILS

[Vala_M]

It was removed, but has apparently returned today. I'll contact our ad agency again!

That's odd. Thanks for letting us know.

Vala,

That continuous Kyle XY ad that is somehow the Gateworld main page background is WAY too annoying and graphic for my tastes. It has been on there for a few days.

Vala,

so you jsut don't like it or is it causing problems with the menu's??? i think Darren only blocks ads that only disrupt the navigation of the site. not just because people don't like them

[Skydiver]

for darren to curtail ads they need to be

Inappropriate
mess with navigation

Simply not liking them won't be much of an excuse i'm afraid

The Kyle XY reskin is only on the main site's home page, and only runs Saturday through today. We only do reskins every couple of months, and the benefit they give to GateWorld far outweighs the temporary design change.

I meant at least from my viewpoint, it's inappropriate, the guy is lifting his shirt up and it looks suggestive, at least for me. But I guess if it's just until tonight I can wait. I never read it so I didn't know it was expiring today. If I knew that, I wouldn't have bothered posting about it.

To everyone who wants to get rid of annoying adds - Firefox + Noscript - and allow only gateworld.net

There's an ad which flashes red and white non stop! I can't look at it for one second! It makes my eyes feel so uncomfortable. It's the one saying "I'm the 999,999 person to visit the site, click here to win the prize" and keeps popping up more than the other ads! I'm going now, I can't use the forum with that flashing!

Those sorts of ads should absolutely never be appearing on GateWorld. In order to remove them (unfortunately), we need to know the destination URL of the click-thru.

Sometimes you can get that by right-clicking on the ad and copying the target link location, pasting it into Notepad, and looking for the "http://" portion embeded toward the end of the URL.

A screenshot would also help us to track it down.

I can't get the address as the flashing is so fast I really can't take looking at it. Here's a screenshot:

I just got the same Ad as well, it appears in Flash Player so right clicking on it just brings up the Flash Player options.

I'm getting it too, across the top of the page nearly every time it loads - stupid thing is really annoying and quite migraine-inducing to look at. Here's a screencap:
