Ad Banners - About & Problem Reports

[Taluntain]

Thanks, I'll remove it as soon as I find it.

Don't know if this helps, but clicking that link (I did it for the $) brings you here:
"http://data.liquidmedianetworks.com/applications/output/devlp.php?v=11&data=aHR0cDovL2Fkc2VydmUuYnJhbmRnaXZld2F5Y2VudHJlLmNvbS9EZWZhdWx0UGFnZS5hc3B4P2M9Mjg0OCZzPUxHMjA1QEAkMTAwMCBXYWxtYXJ0IEdpZnQgQ2FyZCFAQEAx"

It appears at the bottom, too, above "powered by phpBB".

And it's very loud.

 

[Taluntain]

I've removed the lot, thanks for your help.

 

[Jasede]

Thanks for making the Codex a better place. :teardowncheek:

Recently a couple of new "You're the 9999999999 visitor of this site, you've won!" ads popped up. This type is annoying because they include a repeating windows beep sound. Any chance that they get removed/swapped for something else?

EDIT: Correction, it's a "You have won, click to claim the prize" ad. Here's a screenshot:

Hey you won a free prize that's pretty cool.

 

[Monocause]

Hey you won a free prize that's pretty cool.

No, I didn't. Congratulations have won a free prize. No idea who he is, but I'm not going to claim his prize.

 

[Barrow_Bug]

I was. Note the past tense.

 

[Taluntain]

Monocause, can you check where it links to?

 

[mathboy]

Is the patron stuff still available? I feel like getting rid of some money, and would like to not see ads!

 

[Taluntain]

Sure it is, via the donation button on top left: http://rpgcodex.net/main.php?id=donations

 

[Monocause]

Monocause, can you check where it links to?

Haven't seen it again yet. If it pops up I'll be sure to post it.

 

[Kosmonaut]

Well, I'm certainly not Monocause, but I got this annoying banner too (or a similar one). The fucker keeps chirping like a smoke alarm.

Anyway, here's the culprit ugly mugshot:

I got it in the Let's Playeth Ultima Underworld 2 thread.

When you click it, it takes to the <a href="http://ad.foxnetworks.com/click2,6B0AAG3kBgDkgxkAAAAAAOx3CAAAAAAAAgAAAAYAAAAAAP8AAAAFE6Q5CgAAAAAAX1oEAAAAAAA8HgwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD9vgMAAAAAAAIAAwAAAAAA9xFyziIBAAAAAAAAADViNWYwZDRhLTdkNzItMTFkZS1hNDc2LTAwMWNjNGE1NmNjMQAAAAAAAAA=,http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.fastclick.net%2Fw%2Fclick.here%3Fcid%3D185657%26mid%3D350035%26sid%3D24507%26m%3D1%26c%3D0%26forced_click%3D%24,http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sorcerers.net%2Fincludes%2Fbutler%2Fbutler.php%3Ftype%3D728%26site%3Drpgc," ref="nofollow" target="_blank" class="postlink">ad manager page</a>. And then this page redirect it to a <a href="http://www.freelotto.com/register.asp?skin=FlashWinner2&partner=1015012" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="postlink">free lotto page</a>.

I hope this info helps you to remove this annoyance. The links I gave you have the nofollow attribute, so the spammer won't get some RpgCodex <s>PageRank</s> manly juices. :evil:

Fake Edit: Added more info, and fixed typoes.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

What did you win?

 

[Kosmonaut]

What did you win?

Huh?

 

[Taluntain]

Should be gone now; let me know if you still see it.

 

[Kosmonaut]

Should be gone now; let me know if you still see it.

OK. If something similar (or the same banner) pops out again, I'll report it.

 

[mathboy]

When your need a break from the intense play of RPG games check out keno at an award winning online casino.

I WANT A REFUND! D:

 

[mathboy]

Seriously guys, I thought giving you money was going to make you get rid of the ads.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Your ads should be gone?

 

[mathboy]

Unless I misunderstood something, yes. But there's still one (very annoying) ad left:

 

[Taluntain]

What the hell are you doing down there anyway? Do you enjoy re-reading 10 day old news or something? It's like complaining about a shitty toilet in the basement of a hotel instead of using the squeaky clean one in your room or in the lobby...

 

[DarkUnderlord]

^Guess who put that ad in? Hyuk.

I'll tweak it so it doesn't display to ad-free people's.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Try now. I also corrected the typo while I was there.
