Ad-Server causing trouble again?

Matth · May 4, 2003, 04:46 PM

To go back, now seems to need TWO hits on back.

Last time I saw that happen somewhere, one of the BACKS was getting caught by the ad.

YEP! - flaming ads.ad-flow.com appearing in the BACK list
And it seems to be the bottom one causing the trouble, not the top.

.... DEALT WITH! - Sorry, but that means an adkiller rule on them until the issue is resolved.

I understand your use of the ad killer, sorry for any inconvience but this time i cant say im seeing any problems myself.

ill email the ad company and if anyone else is currently experiencing problems, please post in here.

thank you.

It certainly wasn't happening before....
I wonder what changed?

To be honest, I've always had an ad blocker (it comes with my firewall), but just not set to be fully effective - and this may be the result of ad companies getting more aggressive, as the only thing that cleared it up was putting them in the BLOCKED SITES list - so I now have an ugly "Site blocked due to undesirable content"

It would seem it must be a PAGE, rather than an image - and perhaps just a nasty piece in the cycle

That's the full link of the troublemaker.

PS. Hit the Geforce4 and win, now THAT is a nice slant on the old "hit the monkey" - and that IS still showing - yet I thought tha exclusion would have caught that as well.

I've yet to see any type of privacy tool block 100% of ad's.
