Ads while logged in?
Edited on Mon Nov-10-08 11:50 PM by merwin
Is it just me or have ads started popping up all over the place even while logged in? Wasn't it only visitors that got the barrage of ads, or did that change?


Thanks for whoever just donated a star in my name!!! You rock!

3. I've got an ad at the top of the page, an ad in my post, and the DU Adbot on my ass.
Even tried logging out and back in.

6. Aha, that might be it. Unfortunately, I can't afford a star as I just had my bankruptcy hearing.
Sucky.

11. Thanks! It was declared a no-asset case, so we don't lose any of our stuff.
Of course, we don't really have any stuff to speak of :)

12. good luck through it. Looks like the star fairy visited you.
I'm concerned, it's the 10th and I have under $50 in the bank, bills due in 2 wks. It sucks. Not near bankruptcy, hope yours went ok and things get better.

14. Well, my wife lost her job about 2 months ago and hasn't been able to find one yet.
We've got a few more months before we hit zero again :)

Luckily, we've got a good family support network that will help if the shit really hits the fan.

5. I haven't noticed much of a difference......
When I'm logged out I see the same amount of ads as I do when I'm logged in, at least that's how it appears to me. I don't really pay too much attention to ads so it's hard to tell.

8. Mine probably just ran out.

I guess I can just switch from Chrome back to Firefox and adblock until i can afford a star.
