Ads stops WinCustomize.com
Friday, November 4, 2011 by chuckve4 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hi, There is an advertisement preventing https://www.wincustomize.com/ from loading. The ad itself won't load but it puts a black box in the center of the screen and grays the rest of the page. It happened last night or maybe this morning and just now. I wasn't logged into wincustomize either time and I cleaned all of my caches earlier today. I got past it by pressing F5, but most people probably don't know they can press F5 and new visitors might think WC is just a bad web page.

Usually it's a cache or cookies issue. It's usually best to use an app like CCleaner to completely clear your browsers out.

Hey.
Looks like there was a glitch in the matrix when you renewed. It should be resolved within fifteen minutes of this post.
Log out and back in and let me know if it's still an issue.

Blocking them only takes away income from the site.
Yeah true but SD should normaly be so gentle to carry the weight since all the skins are found on Wincustomize and the skinners posting them are actually keeping the apps alive... ( No skinners / no skins - no skins / mucho less customers - less customers / sad face SD ) so it should be a priority to keep the site as clean as possible even for guests... even if there is other sites to get the skins ... no commercials ....but thats only how i see it...WC represents Stardock + it has many other goodys to offer...it is very< well moderated.... while i do enjoy clicking on random crap links now and then honestly >! no sarcasm - i found some real treasuresd that way, but in the end these ads are just annoying even if they are for a good deed

My point: I paid to have the ads removed.
I don't use ad block on the WC site since I use IE to access it. The adds are still there even though I paid to have them removed.
Can you be more specific about the type of "browser issue" it may be?
