Description of problem

Hi!
Hey, we've bought the "ad free for members" feature, but our members need to log in first before the ads are eliminated. The price for cost free for members and guests is, at least for now, a bit cost prohibitive for us. However, over the last few days, we've gotten members who have reported problems with ads covering the login and making it impossible for them to log in. Sometimes it is relieved by multiple refreshes, but I had the same issue myself one day last week where an ad that looked like it was at least 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 square was covering the log in. Is there a way to make sure the ads are banner size that actually fit the boards so members/guests can log in? Thanks!

Our Forum has these Ad problems covering the Log In and also we can't load any photos now. I'm not sure where to post anything anymore, so I hope this is the right place.

I've noticed some rather odd placing of adverts recently.
This morning the forum had logged me out, when I went to log back in, I was faced with this rather useful ad.



I use a standard skin hoping to avoid this sort of thing

This was on an iPad, I tried it with a few different browsers and found the same result.

Hello,

I think we have already reported this banner. However I need information to confirm this or even to inform the provider o this banner that his ad is defective.

• A screenshot [X]
  
• The link of the banner (right click and copy the link) [ ]
  
• The code of the banner (right click beside the banner and copy the code) [ ]
  
• Your location [ ]
  
• Mobile or version deskstop [X]

Hi,
I'm located in the UK

Not sure how to right click on an iPad
Following the ad takes me here http://adv-sao.gamesprite.me/register?pn=1&sp=115&ss=T1&ts=25663_

Using the classic version rather than mobile (but I guess you can tell that from the screenshot provided)

Hope that helps

Hello all,

Please provide us with the information below in order for us to infrom the provider and let them know about their ad being relocated. Thank you!!

I'm tagging @Leviosa and marking this as a pro-admin problem so it can easily be found.

I can't give any banner codes as its an iphone issue. Also each time you try and log in the page changes to a different one.

The problem has been reported. The providers of these ads were informed and it should be fixed within the next hours. Thank you for being patient.

Description of problem

When trying to connect to the forum using Google Chrome i can not enter users name and password because a new advertisment page occurs an i miss the page to connect. Thiw problem occurs only when i try to connect from a mobile phone. Please help. Thank you in advance.

This problem seemed to have been resolved yesterday afternoon/evening, but this morning one of our Forum users has a large immoveable banner ad over the login screen.

The forum address is http://vulps.forumotion.com

She's on a mobile, and both Safari and Chrome are behaving the same.

I'm on a laptop using Chrome and everything looks normal to me. Everything looked normal to her and everyone else yesterday, as well - after the problem of redirection to multiple ads was solved.

This is what she can see ...

Hello
Im having the same problem here in the uk.
My forum is http://southwalestrailrider.forumotion.net/
I cant get a link to the add thats covering the log in as ive had so spend credits to remove the add for non members as well as members.
I hope this is not going to be a long term fault? I dont want to be spending credits in this way every month.

Other mobile users of the Vulps Forum are now reporting the same problem.

I am also dealing with the same problem. Though, considering I do this all on the Wii U (ik ik 'WHAT EVEN GET A LAPTOP OR A PHONE' i can't alright) it dosen't exactly cover it up, it is under the login so I have to be careful not to click it cause of my big fingers. It gets frustrating and its happening on every forum I go on.

Hello everyone,

This ad problem is only happening in the UK at the moment. The best thing we can do is wait until the providers finally fix this issue. It's nothing we can do here. We also are waiting on this fix for all of you and we are waiting on some more news for you.

Thank you for being patient and sorry for the trouble.

Hello problem not solved i still have a banner over my forum
New screenshots



Thank you

Thanks I will transmit all these right away (again).

Hi Leviosa

Obviously this is a problem for a lot of people, but my forum is brand new and I'm having guests visit and no one is registering because they can't. The advert is blocking them, as you can see from the image below:



This is causing me to lose potential members to my forum before I've even had a chance for the forum to get going.

When you say you will transmit all of these right away, would you have to deal with each member's forums individually? Can you give us some idea how long it may take to fix this, please?

My original information about this is about the middle of the previous page.

This is my forum, http://asd-buildingbonds.forumotion.co.uk.

Best wishes
Toshiro

Hello,

Yes we are aware of the problem and are actually working on it right now.

Hi Leviosa

Thank you for your reply, and I'm pleased that you're working on it,

Best wishes

Hello,

We changed the ad provider responsible for this. Can you tell me if you have still the banner covering the login ?

First reports from http://vulps.forumotion.com are confirming that the problem seems to be solved.

Okay on both Safari and Chrome, I'm being told. Fingers crossed that it stays okay.
