DOWN WITH ADS

[MarkG]

show some mercy people

dont just give me a url, explain the situation
- page that you got the ad
- type of ad (popup, 468x60)
- placement in the page (top or bottom)
- forum style

[TCO]

O sorry. It was on a forum thread page. It was the top banner ad. It made a vrooooom racing car sound. Got it several times yesterday. I don't know how to tell my style...I never really understood what that is. I think I'm on the old style. Whatever that is.

In your control panel, under "Change Options", near the bottom should be a drop-down menu for forum styles.

GP, go to

http://apolyton.net/ads/adjs.php?clientID=9&noads=1

to see how you're indentified.
since you're probably indentified as visiting the site from the US, you see the RealMedia ads. to avoid these ads you should change your options

http://apolyton.net/forums/member.php?action=editoptions

If you simply go to the styles setting in your options page you will see that there are "Special" and "Ultra-Special" equivalents for your currently selected style.

Making your selection will store it in your account settings. If you have cookies enabled and the "Automatically login when you return to the site?" option turned on, your computer will remember your style settings.


of course all this is in the FAQ

http://apolyton.net/forums/misc.php?action=faq&page=10

but you're an old guy and i respect that

[War4ever]

Thanks markie. I respect you even more than the reverse. BTW I heard it again. I will figure out the styles. Why can't we fix it so all styles avoid noise ads? Or so the default style has no noise ads?

[MarkG]

Mark are you saying i can surf Poly without ads? if i change my settings????? somehow i don't think that is what your saying....

when i say that you can avoid those ads, i mean that you can see some other ads.

beyond that, on the forums, you CAN only get pop-ups and no other ads. just select an ultra-special style

[MarkG]

Why can't we fix it so all styles avoid noise ads?

these ads(all RM ads to be exact) come as a package. it's a "take it or leave it" situation. normally these kind of ads runn for a small period of time and stop. if things get worse, we'll just say "leave it"

OK Mark,

The talking Chinese girl is still there too.
