Monday, January 22, 2007 by LittleBearJason | Discussion: WinCustomize Site Issues

I thought being a subscriber , I get no ads on Wincustomize.com? Im disqusted to see "Ads By Google" on the main page when Im signed into the site.

I would love to help everyone out with this, but I'm afraid that we need to know exactly where you're seeing ads first...

A screenshot would probably be the best way to show us where the ads are popping up.

The ad I was seeing was right above the first "News" entry. Its not there now though...seems sporadic.

Yes, the ads are sporatic. All over the place.
Even those tacky "section icons", on the right, will show up after awhile. Even though I hide them.
Wish they were set, when I log in, to keep my setting after I hide them. That would be nice.

I have 2 screenshots. One of them is from this very thread. I am a paid subscriber and I have seen these all over the place as well.

Admin please delete reply # 10. I plain and simple cannot get the insert link feature to work. And now that clwoods has posted I cannot fix that mess up there either.

Ya thanks, wasn't your fault clwoods. All I remember is I inserted my link, did a quick edit, pressed submit and when I looked up I said oh no. Might need to delete my email id and start with new one. What a pain that would be. I sure hope not.

Must be working on the site.

Ads keep appearing and disappearing.
Big orange button that asks to create a user page, below the user name, keeps appearing.
Front page news appears and then disappears.

Also noticed section pages show 12 items now instead of 16. (I) liked 16. Sad.....
