Are you all still getting pop up ads on the discussion board?
|
Yes. It was sort of similar to what happened on the home page awhile back. Except back then, it was a truck ad that started playing. That has stopped. This new issue only happens on the forum and instead of an ad playing, it reloads the page to the ad's home page. It seems to have calmed down now. Btw, this only happened when I used my laptop which is why I thought it was an issue with it rather than the SS site. There were no issues on my phone. |

Whatever you did, they have stopped for me. Sounds like a problem with Google that will be rectified soon. But the ads were so stupid. Why would companies even bother spending all that time and energy to accomplish something so inherently useless? Do they actually make money by annoying people in that way? |

Pia,
Indulge me one more time. After reading this message, are you still having the popup?
Thanks,
Don

I'll indulge you as many times as you want.
No, they seem to have stopped.
"Why would companies even bother spending all that time and energy to accomplish something so inherently useless? " I felt bad because it seemed I was targeted as a group who needed to lose weight. That might be true, but I don't need that reinforced by ads!!!! |

Might be time to move to targeted ads. You could get sponsorship from all the screenwriting comp's IMO. 10% of every click that results in a sale from this site. Or even a fixed monthly fee for advertisements.
At least the server would be paid for. |

Pia,
Again, using you as a test subject as you are the only person in the world who uses the old theme. Any weird stuff happening?

What do you mean by old theme? You told me years ago to use the "winter" or something like that theme. Are there other ones?
My issues are with my MacBook Pro being "old". Somehow the 2011 MacBook Pros have a crappy graphics card (you can look it up). Some websites I go to that have a lot of ads on the page and causes my computer to crash. The SS home page used to be one of them. It seems it has got better since Bert alerted you to it.
I'm going to get a new computer, I'm just waiting for Apple to roll out their new ones.
I refuse to by the last computer of the last model year... |

Pia,
Converted Theme is now the default theme. Platinum Winter is an old theme that I only maintained because I somehow got it in my head that you liked it.

Ok, I changed it. Now it looks like it does when I check in while logged out.
I do check in while logged out you know so I won't look like a nerd spending hours here every day...

But Bert, you are a God King of the SimplyScripts Universe. You are a benevolent God. You wouldn't, like, go off and create your own website or anything like that? SimplyScripts would be well and truly fucked. |
