I’ve heard about some audio ads on the site, if you run into them, could you please tell me:
1 – where the advert is on the site layout (header, sidebar, before the comments, footer)
2 – what they’re advertising
3 – what size the ad box is, square, rectangle, circular
in unrelated news, a tornado passed by my house this morning.
Processing your request, Please wait....

the flashing “100,000th visitor” audio ad popped up on the left sidebar, under your donate button. Not good at eyeballing pixels, but it was a rectangle, 2×7 inches.

Saw one at the top of the site, that same 100, 000 visitor one…7×1/2 inch possibly… I was in another tab so it surprised me…but I won’t sue for mental anguish and damage this time tiki…lol
April 28, 2011 at 7:43 pm
Same here, in the header. Flashing 100,000th visitor, rectangular.
“CONGRATULATIONS!! YOU WON!!”
Plus, it was on a different tab than the one I was looking at, so it scared the crap outta me…
Interestingly, I can be the 100,000th visitor several times a day…
April 28, 2011 at 10:33 pm
…and again, in the sidebar.
Long vertical rectangle, same “100,000th visitor” message.
April 29, 2011 at 7:26 pm
…and some more in the header again today. Same one.

Still happening, Tiki. Any word on when they might go away?
Same “100,000th visitor” ad.
In the header.
With the candlestick.
April 28, 2011 at 4:59 pm
top left, about 1″ x 5″ LOUD “YOU HAVE WON!!!!” 1’000’000th visitor BS -
Truly annoying as hell, glad you’re on it.
April 28, 2011 at 5:37 pm

April 28, 2011 at 6:02 pm

Okay, got a new one, now. It is right before the comments, about 2″ square. Seems to rotate through a string of ads, most of which have no sound, but every few minutes it plays audio along with one for Lysol, and since it is another tab that is in the background, it takes forever to find it. Especially since you have to scroll down the page to find it, and when you have as many tabs open as I do, sometimes you never end up finding it because the commercial is over by the time you find the right tab, and it is on to one of the soundless ones. I managed t catch it this time around, so I’m alerting you like a good community citizen. Hopefully that will help to make them go away, as I do hate them so.
