Ads! Zey kill my title box!

by **Smoke** Sat Mar 15, 2014 9:27 am

I am having quite a problem with ads on this website, and it is highly annoying to me. I don't mean to be complaining, but the ads are covering the title section of my posts and I'm growing very agitated by it. If some admins could hopefully fix this, I would HIGHLY appreciate it. If it is just me, it may be my computer. It's been known to be cruddy before, so just tell me if you guys have the same problem.

Thankies :3

(P.S- I have to 'send' my topic and the 'You must specify a subject for your message comes up and makes everything else but the ad move down so I can then put in my topic name. I'm okay with having to do this, and I know it probably shouldn't be a problem since I can still access the title box, but it's just really annoying, ya know?)

Yeah, this happens to me as well.
It seems to be a recent occurrence, because I don't remember the ads always doing this.
Now, usually, I have to refresh the page before typing anything and the ad usually retreats to its normal territory. But most of the time the ad is in the correct spot, so I dunno if its your CP or not, but I'm noticing somewhat the same thing Razz

Oh, I might have to try refreshing the page. I haven't tried that yet. It's nice to know I'm not the only one though!
Maybe since its a more recent thing it's because of the larger amount of players on here? A lot of data on the site is making the ads wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey?

All ads are removed for admins, but, sadly, I don't have the permissions (even as an admin) to remove the ads for users. You can download an adblock if you're using chrome or firefox like I have which removes all advertisements and also helps decrease the amount of potential viruses you could get.

Since forumotion is a free forum hosting site,
It makes money through advertising and so there is no way for me to disable it. Except, admins can have it disabled from their screen, but, no other user. Sorry.

Yea, try the refreshing, I think that might help :3
Sometimes the ad makes me unable to click the certain page number I want on a topic. Hrm.. :\ Strange...

Oh, thanks for telling me Howling. I use internet explorer and have a windows PC, so I can't get that ad blocker stuff which seriously sucks Sad

Refreshing the page doesn't work for me for some weird reason. I can live with a little detour though, so at least you guys told me what's going on :3

Ahh. Weird. I don't know where/how the ads work because like Jas, I use an ad blocker.

Ah. Lucky ad-blocker people! XD

This happened to me a few times as well, but I had to refresh it several times to get it off. That happened like two or three times, but now I'm fine.
The ads are durping. :3
