Ad Banners - About & Problem Reports

[Alex_Steel]

That's damn shady indeed. I think you have a virus.

I get no viruses.

It must have been some strange glitch. Yesterday, I restarted my browser but it remained. I went to sleep and today it had gone away. I don't know if you fixed something, nevertheless it's all ok now.

 

[DwarvenFood]

I thought it was nice too. It's a real ad, it's just displaying via the notices system here as the promo will only last a few days. We do make a point of pointing out specials on GOG, and this is a pretty huge one, so it deserves site-wide visibility. Aside from that, there's a GOG button in the top right corner of all pages.

Everything's better than the turtle crap

 

[Taluntain]

You all lie.

It never goes away.

It's right here.

What foul entity made you put it there, in the notices section, anyway?

The fact that it makes the ad DISMISSABLE maybeh?

Get rid of whichever crappy plugins are messing with XF and it will be AWESOME for you too.

 

[EG]

AdBlock wouldn't mess with XF.

Just three words...

"Ugh, Demons Stone!"

 

[felipepepe]

I just lost my patron power and I'm full of ads again, is this a CDN issue or the Codex wants my money again?

 

[Taluntain]

That would only happen if your subscription's expired (or somebody expired it), so it's time to cough up a few more pieces of eight I'm guessing.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

And if you donated as part of the recent P:E Fundraiser, the ad-free for that is yet to come.

 

[DwarvenFood]

Didn't felipepepe get a lot of ad--free for his AoD trailer, or did VD screw him over (possibly he got a GoG game or so)

I did it 4 free, but Vince was kind enough to give me some Steam games.

Oh yeah, there is that... thanks for reminding me, I almost gave you $20.

I just got this warning today at around 12:50PM when reading the member pictures thread using Chrome:

 

[Taluntain]

Which page? Link me... it's likely someone included an image from that site. Did you (or anyone else) see that alert on any other page?

Hang Crispy, his pic is doing it.

 

[Jaesun]

I KNEW it! His evil plan to try and take down the codex is FOILED!

 

[golgepapaz]

Is that ad pop-up appears because of codex or something hijacked my browser. It only appears when I hover my mouse over "adventure games" text in the title

 

[Taluntain]

I assume that's something to do with your ad-blocking plugins and/or programs. See here why you shouldn't be blocking ads on Codex.

I did have a patronage here, although I've lost the status during the site overhaul, I've just wondered if this was a codex thing.Apparently not. It's gone in any case.

 

[Taluntain]

Back then we transferred the patronage for everyone, so I assume it's expired by now, not that it was lost...

 

[Haba]

BTW, I am still missing the extended patronage from W2 donation drive (+PE). 250+250 which should equal never having to see ads ever.

 

[Taluntain]

Yea, I think DU's getting to that somewhere 2015-ish or so...

I think I remember my tag disappeared just after the overhaul. Just out of curiosity I'd like to ask when does the tag expires, I see that I've made the donation Jun 18 2011 (from a PM to you) during one of that server upgrade drives. It was about 40ish dollars, funnily I can't find it on my paypal transaction history, was it someplace else? (Yeah found it from the email search with the receipt number it was $54 )
Also had a gallery space from that donation of which I've never used. (Fuckin' gallery how does that work?)

 

[Taluntain]

Just after the overhaul they did, but were reinstated shortly afterwards. Since this was more than a year ago there's really no way to check now what happened with your account since a yearly subscription would have expired by now. If you were around all this time, why didn't you raise the issue with me or DU if you felt there was a problem?

Account upgrades are now completely automated, so they expire as per your subscription option, which can be anywhere from 6 months to 10 years: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?account/upgrades

Since this is a fully automated process now, there's really no room for error. You get exactly the duration that you pay for.

I don't have access to PayPal records that go that far back as we've changed accounts since then but if you can find the receipt on your end let me know.

 

[Taluntain]

Please PM or e-mail me a copy of those receipts, hopefully I can figure it out.

As for the gallery, good question for DarkUnderlord . I think it's still somewhat broken. I haven't set anyone up for gallery access in a long time, I'm not sure there's even a subscription point for new users right now as creating an album logged out just errors out and I've got admin access, so I can't see what happens for regular users.

Well I did mention about it briefly here and here, when people were complaining about it (Didn't know about the tags back then). Since I am not the kind of person who will lose sleep over it I didn't mind not getting my tag back

I've donated $54 for the Help the Codex raise $500.This should get me 5 years of subscription according the first post , since the gallery is useless.

I've also donated $15 for the wasteland fund-raising. I will PM the receipts from both transactions . They are in Turkish but I am sure you can work out the receipt numbers and donation amounts each.
