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

[Freedom]

Sometimes it is there, sometimes just a big white space.

Tried what Phred said about clicking ont he space, doesn't change a thing.

Oh well.

[Catty1]

Yeah, my clicking on the space does nothing.

I've never seen it and my computer is windows xp. I was wondering what the extra white space was for. I also have pop up blocker so maybe this is the reason I don't see it.

[catnapper]

Yup, saw it a minute ago and was confuzzled for a minute (thats my own word for puzzled ans confused ) Its not there now. I did notice a big white space earlier today.

Hmmmm... I'm on Firefox and saw it on the other computer which has IE. Wonder if your browser also has something to do with it?

[mrspunkysmom]

I can't see it either.

I viewed the source code of the webpage to check on the advertisers URL. I'm not blocking that particular one. I have popups okayed for pet talk. I see tons of other banner ads on other websites so I can't think what it is.

There is a possibility that if the advertiser is restricting the ad to certain locales, that it is restricting by IP address. Many of us use companies that that are global or close to that. So there is a blanket restriction on certain ranges of IP addresses and hence we are not seeing the AD.

As to why someone can see it for a second or two and then it disappears, who know?

Just my take.

I see it on the index page, but not on any other pages. It shows up as an extra space.

When I initially got on PT, it popped up. But now that I'm going through threads, it's gone.

[RedHedd]

I see ads on my office PC. At home I have Norton set to not show ads.

[Randi]

Ahh, something is happening.... the white bit went away.

[Freckles]

Randi, you're right! There were ads earlier this morning. I never had a problem with them, though.

Due to a couple technical user problems, we removed the ad. But if we could have one banner ad at the top of the page that was animal-focussed we might try something else.

I see a large piece of german sweet chocolate cake and a glass full of organic skim milk. Might just be me, though.

[Cinder & Smoke]

Due to a couple technical user problems, we removed the ad.

Looks like The Ad is back at 3:00 PM on Wednesday, 8/15.

Yup, confirmed in IE (not FF since I have the adblock add-on I don't see any anyway)
