Ads By Google Glitching

SC4Runner · 03-07-2008, 10:48 PM

All day, my ads By Google on the site has been screwed up. Rather than aligning horizontal, and looking normal, its been going verticle, and making posts un-readable. Its a little annoying.

Didn't know if someone spoofed up the code, or if its just me?

Screen shot of what Im talking about:

I've noticed that too. Sometimes they show up in the middle of a long thread toward the bottom. I'm just glad those roll over ads are gone.

Dare44 · 03-07-2008, 11:52 PM

mine ads are doing that to they are annoying

Paul H. · 03-08-2008, 06:02 AM

Thats wierd, have not had that problem yet.

***Corey*** · 03-08-2008, 07:09 AM

Have not seen that here either, but I have forwarded this thread so it can be looked into.

tortis · 03-08-2008, 02:05 PM

the ads are blocking some lines and i can't even get a phone number out of my PM box.

CJM · 03-08-2008, 02:17 PM

I still dont see any ads at all. I am using the latest firefox and thats it.

tortis · 03-08-2008, 02:28 PM

it pisses me off enough to leave the site forever.

Like I mentioned above, it will be looked into.
I would imagine the coders here do not work weekends, so they will not get my email until Monday.
Then they can look into it.

If the ads are dropping down as in Steve's screenshots, it is probably a line of code.

Strange how many of us though do not see that happening, even without a pop up blocker.

Make sure you have the latest Windows updates for IE 6 or 7, or the latest Firefox update if you are running Uncle Bill's OS.

da_bigg_wigg · 03-08-2008, 02:39 PM

Get firefox and the ad block add-on. No more ads...

SC4Runner · 03-08-2008, 11:28 PM

Its still there for me, and I just was looking from my buddies computer, and it showed the same thing.

X2. I've been getting the same thing SC4runner. You beat me to making a thread. Glad I'm not the only one.

p.s. Just broke 300 posts! haha I'm... (opens calculator) 1/70th of the way to catching up to Corey! Watch your back Corey.

**DeathCougar** · 03-09-2008, 03:40 AM

No problems here!

I did notice that the dropdown ads have disappeared. Thank god. Best/smartest thing they have done.

Brenjen · 03-09-2008, 07:51 AM

ooooo, I feel so special! The google ad at the top just glitched down like that on my screen too. First time.

***Corey*** · 03-09-2008, 08:41 AM

What ads?

Yep that ad. I just blocked the script. No harm, no foul.

***Corey*** · 03-09-2008, 09:10 AM

Yes, but there are no ads in my snapshot above.
The one that shows is Steve's picture he inserted.

**4x4Fink** · 03-09-2008, 09:15 AM

GOSH COREY! That's it...I'm leaving...I can't handle it!

Goodbye YT.

*immature moment/mock over*

I haven't had that happen to me yet...I bet they'll get it fixed soon though, hang in there!

Well; the google ad just did that to me when I posted earlier & I mean it was identical to that screen cap.

Why do you say that was added?

Here, lemme paint ya a door to leave by

And last but not least, remain calm.
This will be looked into tomorrow hopefully.

Brenjen · 03-09-2008, 10:07 AM

Myself, I'm calm; I just blocked the script & all is well. I was simply confused by the response; I mean it sounded like you maybe thought it was BS.

I think you misread my thoughts.

What I said in my post above was that I do not get the poppers or the banners at all as seen in my screen capture.

The Google ad in my screen capture is of Steve's picture that he inputed into this thread.

I can clearly see his example in the picture.
The ad is messed up, as it should be going horizontally, not vertically as in Steve's pic.

It is a simple line of code that needs to be edited.
Someone was probably in the area the other day in the admin panel, and may have left something out.

I am sure they will get the glitch fixed tomorrow when they show up at the office.
They have a few emails from me pointing to this very thread.

IB Admin · 03-10-2008, 10:40 AM

I've forwarded it to the ad guys to look at. Definitely should not be doing that.

***Corey*** · 03-10-2008, 02:57 PM

It is doing it on many sites, and it is being looked into.
It will be fixed.

SC4Runner · 03-10-2008, 05:58 PM

Yeah. Its fixed. woo hoo!
