Title: Multiple banners at the end of posts
Post by: pixelgeek on April 13, 2020, 04:01:00 PM: Is anyone else seeing three "What are you up to in lockdown?" banners at the end of every page for thread?

Post by: zemjw on April 13, 2020, 04:08:59 PM: Yup, including this one :)

Adverts are usually at the top, so not sure what has changed

Post by: has.been on April 13, 2020, 07:17:40 PM: Annoying, and why three times?
Title: Re: Multiple banners at the end of posts
Post by: fred on April 13, 2020, 08:19:51 PM: Yep, its a bit much.

It seems to be a Wargames Illustrated thing

Post by: syrinx0 on April 14, 2020, 06:00:43 PM: Not seeing it now. Perhaps it was resolved?

On an iPhone all 3 of them are still there :(

Post by: syrinx0 on April 14, 2020, 06:25:47 PM: Looks normal on my iphone (safari) and desktop (firefox). I'm in the US. Does LAF have regional based adverts? I only see the adds at the top.

No idea but I still see them so I don't think anything has been done

Post by: syrinx0 on April 14, 2020, 06:34:25 PM: Not a regional display from a quick VPN experiment (yes, I am bored). I am a supporting adventurer. Maybe that is a difference?
Title: Re: Multiple banners at the end of posts
Post by: fred on April 14, 2020, 07:51:55 PM: I'm seeing what Billchuck sees (both desktop and mobile Safari)
Title: Re: Multiple banners at the end of posts
Post by: zemjw on April 14, 2020, 08:11:59 PM: I see the banners on my tablet, but not on my desktop, either in chrome or firefox ???

On a side note, I used to be a supporting adventurer, but I'm not showing as that anymore. Did they reset or clear existing members when they brought the donate button back?

Maybe your ad blocker is stopping them?
Title: Re: Multiple banners at the end of posts
Post by: Sir Barnaby Hammond-Rye on April 14, 2020, 10:25:27 PM: I am getting what Billchuck is seeing.

So somebody was able to get rid of my multiple posts but not fix the problem?
Title: Re: Multiple banners at the end of posts
Post by: Captain Blood on April 14, 2020, 10:59:26 PM: It’s some kind of glitch. The webmeister is aware and has been trying to fix it.
Title: Re: Multiple banners at the end of posts
Post by: Dr. Zombie on April 16, 2020, 07:06:37 PM: It is very annoying. I hope the web gnomes get it fixed soon.

Post by: Wirelizard on December 17, 2020, 10:17:44 PM: Looks like a version of this banner display glitch is back, there's vivid red banners for some painting comp after every other post in most threads.

Ads are fine, I don't mind them, but this is absurdly excessive. Some threads have four or five of these banners per page!

Screenshot attached of this very thread, spammed with red banners.
Title: Re: Multiple banners at the end of posts
Post by: fred on December 18, 2020, 08:03:03 AM: Yep, I’m seeing loads of these banners too.

It seems excessive for a comp that has such a narrow entry criteria.
Title: Re: Multiple banners at the end of posts
Post by: Silent Invader on December 18, 2020, 08:37:14 AM: Weird. I’m not getting them.
Title: Re: Multiple banners at the end of posts
Post by: Captain Blood on December 18, 2020, 10:51:38 AM: Me neither. Could it be a browser issue at the receiving end, rather than anything amiss with the forum software?
Title: Re: Multiple banners at the end of posts
Post by: Dr. Zombie on December 18, 2020, 11:05:09 AM: I see them also. I am using Chrome.

Weird. I’m not getting them.

Using Safari I’m getting one after the first post and one after the last post, that is all

Post by: vexillia on December 18, 2020, 09:22:32 PM: What makes this glitch even worse is the use of "Five-Year Anniversary". More ugly, modern usage and tautological to boot! You wonder why we used to use words like "fifth".
Title: Re: Multiple banners at the end of posts
Post by: SotF on December 27, 2020, 06:54:37 AM: I've been having the same issue...makes it even more annoying when I've checked things on my phone...
Title: Re: Multiple banners at the end of posts
Post by: Ultravanillasmurf on December 27, 2020, 05:31:07 PM: I have noticed it as well.

Plus the on the subject of English and its usage - the Noveber(sic) Wargames Illustrated advert is still appearing.
