Ads

[Sasq]

yeah, its a code error, to be honest, I am not so fussed about if paypal loads or not, I need a non google source to know when were are getting non google ads.

It's all part of the tweak process for getting the pages to play nice and get targeted ads, as opposed to ads that are chalk and cheese

Just thought I put in my two cents... I'm all for the google text ads. As long as nothing pops up, pops under, or blinks at me, it's all good. Are you seeing many clicks so far?

Alright, what toddler did you use for that smile pic? Is that you as a kid? I must admit it's a bit disconcerting to see that evil grin down there.. kinda almost says "or else" without saying it..

It's not a bug, it's a feature!
You just haven't added the scroll bars yet.
Yeh, that's the ticket.

Nope. But that's just one of his many camera smiles

I still dislike the placement of the add below. Have you tried how succesfull it'd be when place below the < Contact Us - MURC > section?

I doubt it would be sucessfull: nobody scrolls down that far (I didn't even know it said 'Contact Us' at the bottom ).

No body would see it below the contact us section.

two locations that work right now are where it is, or between the reply box submit buttons and the email this page buttons.

Below that the html templates get hell ugly, waiting on vb3

No kiddin

Can it be smaller at least so that the nav bar is below the thread and next to (to the left of) the add, not under it?

I would rather see the ads below the

Pages (12): « First ... « 10 11 [12]

line and above the Quick Reply box. So I can go to the next page faster, instead of scrolling past the ad.

[Jessterw]

I think once vb3 is released and there is more (read: easier) control over the outputed html, and "someone" creates a new layout/design, the placement of the ads will better fit into said layout.

Smaller might be something to look at. I do see a lot of very similar ads on the bottom (three for "Corsair Xms"). I think Dan was worried about the nav menu breaking across lines as it did on the top of the page with the 2 item ad.

Placing the ad below the nav menu might work though, as mmp121 suggested above.

I voted as long as they are not obstructive. I ABSOLUTELY HATE POP UPS AND POP UNDERS, or anything like that such as Shockwave Flash adverts. I also hate fake competitions such as "you have won a prize!" One day, a standard banner advert or a sponsored link might attract your attention and therefore you click it! By doing so, the advertiser is making money.
