Look at this.. just look at it

I think it links from

trying to get more info asap.


EDIT:

I think it's a bad ad, because it does not let me close it.

It just plays shitty videos forever. Yes, I'm logged in to my account. (which is waiting for patron status after the codex fundraisers)

 

[Taluntain]

VigLink is not related to this. What's the video about/for? Are you seeing this with only this one ad?

 

[DwarvenFood]

It were different video's, just some never ending stream of inane vid's / ads. Never had it pop up on me before, and it's the only video ad I've noticed so far on the 'Dex (I think)

What's it about is really hard to say but I think it was using cookies to try and come up with content that might be interesting for me. Anyway, next time it shows up I'll try to get more info - kind of hard though , it was a flash video. Should have saved page source or something.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Looks to be a CSS issue with the ad itself and the ad box XF puts it in.

 

[DwarvenFood]

It happened again, screenshot:

This time I have the source of the page: http://pastebin.com/PcZKkXry

Once again, it's not as much as the placement of the ad, but the fact that the video window cannot be closed.

 

[Taluntain]

That's effing weird, it moving completely to the other side. Are you using some beta version of Chrome by any chance? Is anyone else seeing this?

 

[DwarvenFood]

Version 25.0.1364.160
Google Chrome is up to date.

Dunno.. I'm giving up. Maybe it's more of a Mac issue. (Also: you cannot close that video window you know.. but I guess since it's technically not a pop-up, it's legit)

EDIt:
Ah FFS..

 

[Taluntain]

Oh, Mac... that would explain why no one else is getting this. Try upgrading your Flash version to the latest. And see if the same thing happens in any other browsers.

I only see these when reading Content pages, but, uh, these are no good:

[Taluntain]

Heh, and I've been wondering why the skyscrapers are actually getting clicks all of a sudden...

Why can't these fucking cocktease games at least show some nipples?

 

[Taluntain]

Because in the US, that's a crime punishable by shooting.

[Clockwork Knight]

Even the ads are objectifying women now. The entire concept of the internet (a series of tubes,a symbol for the phallus) is sexist.

 

[Surf Solar]

I got this ad for 2-3 days already and it's freaking annoying:

It plays sound on its own everytime, even though I disabled it before. I can't copy the URL of it nor go to the URL since it's a flash video. Wish I could provide more infos about it, but can't :/

 

[Taluntain]

Well click it and paste where you land...

 

[evdk]

Well click it and paste your antivirus warning message

 

[Surf Solar]

Well click it and paste where you land...

Thats what I meant with "no more infos", when I click on it it only pauses the video or starts another related video. Right click on it to view Url doesnt work either. :/

Clearly, someone is trying to discourage your art.

Hm... what's the video about, there must be something it's trying to sell/promote or a website it talks about? I need concrete keywords to search for. "Market news" yields nothing.

 

[DwarvenFood]

I had the same one remember.. the reason it was improperly placed was probably because of the Mac OS (in my case) because it never happens on my other OS's.

 

[Taluntain]

Yea, only he's complaining about the ad itself, not the placement.
