Solved How to remove google ads (topic edited by creator)

How to remove google ads (topic edited by creator) Jesus

The huge gap between the forum message and the announcements are invisible google ads.
I can see them in IE while im logged in as admin, but in firefox it just looks like the image above.
I did not isntall or order any ads, nor do I use any service provided by google for my forum.
Any ideas how to make my forum look as it was yesterday (without the ads and the hug gap) ?

And since im already here, I would like to know how to make the navigation bar be a little closer to the header graphic.
Please dont ignore me again if you dont have a 100% solution, Im already greatfull for any ideas !!
Thank you very much !

nevermind... another member of my forum uses internet explorer (im firefox user) and it seems to be google ads... which are not shown in my firefox...

that brings up another question... where do those ads come from ?
I didnt order any google service and especially not since last time I visited my own forum!

Is there a way to remove them again so it will look as usual ? >_>'

Well you can remove them for registered users.
But guests will always see it.
If you pay to forumotion then you can disable them.

how much would it be? if we are going to pay the forumotion. I'm looking also for a solution for this problem.

The adds do not come into effect until after you had your forum for 30 days.
After 30 days the google adds will appear.. now you can disable them for members and gust will still them.

this means once your members are logged in then they will not see the adds. but if your not logged in or a guest.. then you will see them.

to completely remove all the adds permanent you have to buy credits to remove them from forumotion.

but forumotion has always had these adds. it's what helps pay forumotion and allow us all to have forums.

i think it's a genius and effective way of dealing with the ads, i mean, you're given the option for signed-in guests to not see them, that's more than MOST other free hosts will grant you.

Also maybe this should be split to another thread, or could just be summed up here, but is there a bandwidth limit? I'm thinking not, as that would kill any largely successful forum... but i applaud forumotion for the excellent hosting!

forumotion kicks butt for allowing that option. you are right most other free forum host would have the adds on there all the time.. so that is a cool option.

The basic capacity for all the forums is 8 million messages, it can be increased to 4 billion if you exceed it.The basic capacity for the subjects is 65 000, which can be increased to 8 million... then to 4 billion

more limitations
