Paid subscription but now seeing ads

I should be good until July, but these are popping up.

I've been using an ad blocker for so long that I forgot there was such a thing as internet ads.

@smacuser, that's so ironic... that same add is showing as I read your post. I'm using someone else's computer and they don't want adblocker (I do use one on my laptop)

Must be a glitch somewhere; the ad is not even vape related. I suppose I could install an ad blocker on my phone, but I feel it kind of defeats the purpose of paying the host to do it. Idk, maybe I broke the internet again.

I have that and seeing the same ad on every thread.

That's right. Stop paying someone else and use a free ad blocker

I use AdBlockPlus on both Chrome and Firefox and never had problems. Easy as cake. Install it and forget it, pretty much. If you want to disable it for a certain site, that's easy too.

What I like MOST about it is that it blocks Youtube video ads. The ones that play before, during or after a video. No waiting to watch a video, no having to click "skip ad" after X seconds or anything. LUV IT!

With all due respect, that's not the point .

Sorry, I have no clue what the point is at this point.

I see the publishing ad. It's cool though. I am incorporating it into my next future dystopian novel where not the computers but the ADs become sentient, begin morphing and predicting the future.

Some politicians need to worry about their imagery. Bush the Father is gonna get attacked my a flying freaking cape of an American flag, while eagles caw "no new taxes my rear end" and like peck him to death.

Yes there will be time travel and alternate timelines. Coca cola has it coming (I am firmly on Pepsi's side.) For example.

This ad seems made to deliberately circumvent any sort of ad blocker service. I'm not sure ecf is able to block it.

Exactly right. Ad networks and individual advertisers try to circumvent ad blockers all the time. Sometimes they succeed, but eventually the ad blockers do get them blocked.

However, ECF might be able to do something. But it may have to be done by someone who has access to the publisher account on whatever ad network delivery system(s) they use. Which means it could take a while.

Odd !
I've linked this thread to the Tech guys to check out.

I think something's going on with the ad networks ECF uses.

See this post...
Are you done stocking up?

I just re-upped for a two year subscription last week and am seeing the same adds. Just started yesterday with them between posts. Now today, a pop up add for juice that moves to the corner and stays there a while after you x it out. Please, someone tell me these will go away for supporting members.

No ads here or at YouTube with Ublock Origin

 

[low_tar_neil]

Don't worry guys, we're just in the process of switching to a new ad server, there will be a few bugs for us to iron out, but rest assured we'll be getting them removed for supporting members asap!

No ads for me, using Firefox with uBlock Origin
