Buggered Forum Style

[Baloki]

The ads seem broken, is it just me?

[darksword12]

I don't think it's you. I've noticed some annoyance in the ads as well.

[crono_logical]

Can't fix what I can't see :p

[Meat Puppet]

Yeah, they’re definitely fucked.

[Baloki]

Can't fix what I can't see :p

Then learn to see harder, most helpful techy my :p smilie :p

[Renmiri]

I think they are referring to the width of the ad bar on top

[Odaisé Gaelach]

I just got it now...

[Discord]

Look alright to me...

[Renmiri]

Ouch, it looks worse now!

[Baloki]

It looks like we're not using a fixed style Google ad anymore, I dun know if this is something we can fix?

[Odaisé Gaelach]

It's getting... stranger... :confused:


1) Imagine the site was being visited by Google Bots and Shlup's Yahoo Spiders, how would you combat this threat?

Oh my God, it's happening! Why didn't they listen? We tried to warn them!

*boom!*

They're coming... They're coming!

*shotgun clicks empty*

Oh no... no! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

These are absolutely messed up. I can't ad-block them and even worse, they're sticking out of the rest!:crying: Oh well, as long as you keep the boards alive.

[JackNapier]

Were these little lines here before?

[Roogle]

We are currently addressing this issue. Does anyone have any other feedback about the advertisements that they would like to point out?

Please let me know of anymore advertisement discrepancies.

Find your game :up:

[Mirage]

The top EoFF logo is suddenly centred now, instead of aligned to the left, and that's bad. The "find your game" ads are also breaking up the forum style. Furthermore, I think they're getting over the top now, with both flash ads and graphics. I absolutely hate flash ads, so I indiscriminately block all of them.

[Discord]

Even more so, there's a textfield that can't be blocked.

[Odaisé Gaelach]

I think that the ads are still messing with posts a little...

[Tifa's Real Lover(really]

i hate the new advertisment thing, give back the old!

[JackNapier]

Okay, I got this Adblock Plus thing that Cid mentioned....and nothing happened. Still all the same ads that were there before. Yes I have restarted Firefox.

You need to subscribe to an area where it can block ads you see. Click on Tools > Addons > and click on options on Adblock Plus and fool around with it. I subscribed to USA easylist.

Got it! Thanks a bunch, it looks much better!

Then if you see any, right click the image and choose 'adblock'. It's most effective if you remove the filename and maybe some folders from the url and add a * as a wildcard if you know the site is only going ot be serving advertising images.

[Tifa's Real Lover(really]

i dont have firefox, i still see advertisements

[Discord]

Umm... you know, I'm also using the adblockp, but aren't you supposed to advice us against using it Cid?:tongue:

*tackles*

PS: Alright, read that announcement.:)
