Something new - an ad on Pet Talk (for some)

[dukedogsmom]

I'm at work on Internet Exploder. Sometimes I see the ad and sometimes there's just a big white space. At home, I use Adblock.

ETA: If you are needing money, I'd much rather donate a small amount of money every month to not see the ad(and support PT) I think you would benefit more from it as lots of people like me block the ads and don't click on them. I realize this is just in trial stages so this info is for the future.

Blank - I am using Firefox.

I opened IE - and saw the ad when I first went to the Pet Talk page. Then white space again.

I am on a PC, running XP Home

[jenluckenbach]

I see it.

I see nothing but a large space, however I do use an ad-blocker add-on for FireFox so I never see ads, anyway.

EDIT: However, when I open PT in an IE-tab within FireFox (basically, opening PT in IE) it does show up for me. So I will confirm that it shows up, just not in FireFox because of my Ad-Block add-on.

EDIT2: And I will also add, whether I could see the ad or not, I don't mind an ad here or there for sites that I support and trust. It's the sites that just become grossly overrun with ads that make me annoyed.

I saw it once earlier, thought I was crazy. I have Firefox, it's just a blank space now. I tried IE and it was there, a boxer was on.

[CathyBogart]

I saw the ad before I logged in

[Killearn Kitties]

I have the space at the top of the page. Hadn't even noticed it until you mentioned it.

I second that.

This is the first time I've seen it and it surprised me, like "Oh! What's that?"
But I totally understand why your trying it out. Doesn't bother me a bit

NOT seeing the Ad below the header ???

You may have to **CLICK** on the blank space!!

Usin a NON-Mac - "PC" running Windows XP/Home and Internet Explorer 6.0.29 ~

I see only the "blank space" UNTIL I *LEFT Click* on that space ...
THEN the ad appears and stays on as long as THAT page remains active.

There is also a TIMER involved ...
*click* to activate the ad, leave the ad-enabled page and open another page
that COULD have an ad - and it's not there ...
*Click* the Blank Space again - and I don't see the ad ... apparently enough "time" hasn't elapsed.

(Example: I "clicked & activated" the ad on this page - am writing my reply - and the ad is STILL visible if I xcroll up --- it's been there 5 minutes plus.)

So the ad's there - you just have to trick it into appearing!

When i first logged on i saw it. I was in firefox and i said to myself, "what the heck is an ad doing on PT?" I ad-blocked it and scrolled down to the Town Hall and saw that Karen had put the ad there.LOL didnt know.

   That is bad. Hopefully the ad serving company can fix their code.

   I greatly appreciate reading everyone's comments. I think we will test this advertising concept for about a week.
