Why 3 stacked ads and 2 news headers?
« on: October 08, 2010, 04:50:24 pm »
In the top of the forum page, there are 2 different areas labelled "News" and they both contain a big advertisement. Half the time its the same ad. Why waste space like this?

Firefox with Ad Block Plus will hide the Lowes Ad.  I noticed the second Northcoast Arcade banner showed up a week or two ago.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Adblock helps a little, but not enough.

Ad blockers make baby saint cry  :'(

I don't know why it's duplicating the ad on the front page of the forum. *mutters* I will try to fix it.

I think its because you have the ad as the news, so its showing the news twice? iunno. If I make North Coast a new banner think they'll use it?

If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

At least it doesn't block 'em all. Also, with me, come on, I support the vendors around here and buy from several of them regularly.
