I only get the Lighttake banner at the top of the page…
the DX at the upper left…
and Efest in lower left, then below that I get “addchoice”…some text only ads, no pictures. Always been that way for me. Nothing ever pops up on the right.
How strange. The Google ads should be text only, and never on the right side of the page… Anybody else seeing this? I’ve never seen it. If you see this, please click on “view source” for the page and copy it into http://pastebin.com and please send me the link.
I use AdBlock too, but I disable it for any board I read because the people running gain a little for the ads. BLF has very unspectacular ads, so anyone thats using AdBlock: please disable it for BLF.
If I were the admin, I would implement a "please turn off AdBlock" notification if detected.
The little “Gear” at the upper right hand corner of the advertisement suggests that its coming from a Chrome extension. I would seriously doubt BLF has anything to do with it.
copy/paste this into your browser bar (where it says “budgelightforum.com/….” right now)
chrome://chrome/extensions/
and see if you have any suspicious Ad Delivering Extensions installed.
I first noticed it a day or so ago. Clicking the gear takes (me) to a page about how ‘foxlingo’ (firefox addon) is add supported, yadda yadda… I don’t (and never have) had this addon installed.
Sorry, I don’t have the actual source anymore. I was trying to ensure it wasn’t a drive-by download onto my system and only showed up on those few sites where I have adblock disabled. Next time I see it I’ll post.
As for the ad, yours is better than mine. mine was like a creepy old lady peeling off her face.
I have adblock on mine. Didn’t noticed ads til OS reinstall. Some of them are pretty nice & relevant to the forum. Though if I was BLF I would try to get proceeds or more ads from the companies most BLF’s are buying such as: manafont, Trustfire, t-mart, kaidomain etc… Cuz it really sucks that the majority of the ads are for dealextreme.
In all seriousiness I would go as far as photoshopping my own pictures and having BLF required flashlights. Call it the ‘BLF noob package’ for the new addicts. Only 599.99!
Please right-click in the whitespace somewhere on the page and select “View page source”, and then copy it into pastebin. Thanks for looking into this!
