    Just sometimes. Like General Chat scamming thread. Also lost quick redirect buttons at bottom there. Sorry, if it's just me then don't worry about it.

    Never mind it's because it's locked. Carry on.......

    Why must every update break Classic Blue? Why? Does vBulletin not give a damn about other styles besides their own?

    They refactored the stylevars, which means a bunch of things were shifted around. Anything in particular you see that needs fixing? I tried to do what I could, but I could roll the updates onto the test server if you want to screw with it.

    Looks much better now.

    Yeah, no you already have enough to do. If its not too much of a problem, I guess roll the updates onto the test server and I'll add it to the list of stuff I need to get to after the other list of stuff I need to do...

    Vive le bleu!

    I am having to log back in every time I visit the site, and also after having been at the site but inactive for a brief period, maybe about 15 minutes. The "remember me" function does not work. This is aggravating. Being logged out after I've spent 20 minutes doing some research before saying something is even more aggravating.

    .net or .com?

    edit: Just made a change that should hopefully make it better for you if you've been accessing through the .net. If you've been seeing the problem through the .com, I'm at a loss.

    Am seeing the having to log back in every time I visit issue too. On .net.

    Figured it was my work filter, as a lot of passwords and cookies and stuff aren't saved, but if Fuzz is having the issue too then ... it isn't my work filter.

    Let me know if it's any better now.

    I take it then that it works, and you can access the .net through your work?

    The .com

    Specifically http://www.theworldforgotten.com/forum.php

    Right now I'm logged in via the .net address and if I click a link, the URL doesn't update. Ever. For instance right now it says I'm at http://www.theworldforgotten.net/forum.php . Which means if I press the reload button, I go to that page instead of reloading this one.

    Big avatars only for old versions of IE. Latest version, smaller.

    In Chrome the avatar sizes on the main page vary. They act just like the avatars do when reading a thread.

    Yeah, I had that too, so I switched back to .com.

    Appropriate.

    I'm getting mac ads on main page. Disturbingly WHITE. D & D shows ads for home decorating sites, GC is football and sports.

    Right now it's local dating sites.

    The ads depend on the context of the page. They will probably be more relevant in specific threads about specific topics.

    If they aren't relevant, don't click on them. That's usually a good signal to the AdSense server to quit serving that ad and try something else.

  25. #55
    The ads have nothing to do with page content. They are completely based on viewers location.

    http://www.groupon.com/sacramento/su...dforgotten.com

    Ads were fine when I wasn't logged in but I really don't like participating in your experiments with my credentials.

    The ads are targeted by context, location and the CPC bid being made. Groupon is a massive national advertiser, so their geotargeting and bids usually merit placement. They may also be using frequency capping, which is basically showing the same ad x number of times because they've found that conversions happen whens someone sees the ad a certain number of times.

    Your login credentials have nothing to do with it, none of your credentials are passed to the ad server at all. The geotargeting is IP based.

    Right, you don't consider IP to be credentials until you need to ban someone.

    An IP address is not a login credential, it's used by your ISP wherever you browse the Web regardless of login state. Every site you visit is logging your IP, just like every cellphone you. When someone is banned, their account is closed. We can see if account share IP addresses if needed, but some people have dynamic IPs. We have never IP banned anyone here.

    Nonetheless, no personal or login information is being passed to the ad server.

    I said something about donut ads, but it vanished somehow..

    Anyway, I used to get donut ads... a lot. Now it seems "fixed" and "targeted" now.

    Or... maybe they figured out I don't eat donuts so much.

    Did you claim to be a police officer in your profile?
