New ads?

Sat Jul 15, 2006 2:52 pm

When I logged into one of my side accounts today I noticed these new longer ads. They appear right under where the text stops, and they're quite annoying.
Anyone else noticed them?

Yes, I have been getting them all day. I thought it was just the browser being weird as I had to use Firefox, usually I use IE.

I haven't noticed them in IE since changing back over.

Hm. Well, it better not just be a Firefox thing. And I can't block them because I don't use Adblock, because last time I used Adblock it ended up blocking all my flash for some odd reason.
But they're appearing just about on every page, and they're stretching the page a tad. :x

Yup, I've been getting them all day as well. A lot of 800x600 resolution users are not gonna be happy cuz it stretches the page and sometimes makes everything off center...

I'm getting those too. Even on petpages. :(

I wonder if its just some glitch or if its my browser (IE most of the time)...

Yea, they're kinda getting annoying now. And they stretch the page insanely.

I thought I wasn't supposed to get any ads with premium but I'm getting these ads too. I just sent in a report on the portal.

I've been getting them at times. I'm on Firefox, but I do use Adblock, so next time I get one of them, it's going away. :evil:

Editto: Just got a chance to send one of them to Kingdom Come. It was one of those annoying Google ads that always advertise cheat programs for Neopets or gold farming or some random stuff. The page looked better when it was gone. :)

This is quite possibly one of the most annoying things TNT has done. I use a big resolution (1152x864) and the pages are stretched for me too. I hope they realize what a bad idea it is.

Yeah... I think it would even be better if it weren't random... it's annoying in games like neoquest and dice-a-roo when you always have to move the mouse between every other click :roll:

though i haven't noticed since they're adblocked, i've been wondering why my screen was randomly aligning oddly. i guess that answers that. this sucks for all us low-res people (1024x768)

I have't actualy browsed through neo today but from eyeing the screenshots it looks like those are actualy the upperbanner ads. Or should i say SPOSE TO be the upper banner ads and maybe some coding is messed up and TNT needs to fix it.... Wich means that it will have to be lived with until Monday.

Hmm, I hadn't thought about that. Hopefully that's all it is. I wouldn't be happy with TNT if they decided that every page needs two annoying banner ads.

Hm. Maybe it's just me, but aren't the top banners bigger than that? Maybe not. I have top ads blocked using CSS.

Ah, I'd wondered why my shop was all misaligned! I also use adblock, so I can't see them, but they still stretch the screen for some reason. How irritating.

well iw as thinkin the reason it streches the screen is because it actualy belongs up top wich would mean it would sit over and farther to the right above the sidebar so it wouldnt strech when where it belongs...... i think.... maybe...... I could be wrong.
