Banner ads on WinCust

Wednesday, August 31, 2005 by ama02 | Discussion: WinCustomize Site Issues

Is anyone else, that is logged into their wincustomize accounts, seeing banner and/or text ads? I am always logged in, and have recently started seeing some on the "Newest" page...both a graphics banner at the top, and a set of text ads along the bottom. I even got a popup ad the other day (I have popup stopper running). Is this something that has recently been implemented, even for registered members?

I just checked, and I see them there too. The top banner is okay (I guess) since it is only a Stardock ad for Multiplicity...the ones at the bottom I've never heard of before.

sometimes i get a banner ad. sometimes, the main page says hello to me (by name) and asks me to sign up and join. sometimes there's some kind of glitch and all the print is about 2x bigger in some ugly font and everything with a link is underlined. sometimes i just turn around and crawl back into bed..

Yes, mostly in the last couple of days or so.

Probably just site weirdness and not an attempt to push ads on registered members.

I've been an apprentice for a long time. I just change my titles around occasionally.

In regards to dead people ...I see them in my dreams sometimes.

In regards to friends ...One can never have too many, but a lucky man is one who finds at least one true Friend

In regards to setting my self up ...yeah, I know. Ask my ex wife ....no don't. I'll just say, "yeah, I know".
