Can adverts be disabled for paying subscribers?

Chet,

This should be live now. Can you confirm.

 

[Draylor]

Deebs: I can confirm its fucked: unless ads are meant to be disabled for leeching scum like myself too

 

[Dweller]

My subs have expired, but the ads have disappeared for me. If I log out and then browse, the ad box comes back. Hope this helps.

 

[Ch3tan]

The adverts have gone for me.

Reguarding the Google Ads - You can block particular URLS from being picked to display on the site, assuming there aren't too many DAOC cheat sites to easily add them to your list. Ofcourse, from a revenue point of view though, it would probably be a plus to have them

Can you test again for me please Dweller....

 

[Penguin]

I'm not subscribed Deebs and i see no adverts, but when logged out i can see google ads in a seperate post, at the end of each thread. (before the "quick reply box").

Should be fixed now, thanks. Can you test once again for me please? Also, blocking ads, is this part of the control panel over at Google?

 

[Penguin]

Yep, i can see them now.

Yes, you can block ads from particular URLS. Once you've logged in, click Adsense Setup at the top, and then in the submenu just below the main navigation pick Competitive Ad Filter.

 

[Draylor]

Yup, ads now work fine. Displayed when not subscribed, hidden after payment.

Dont drink it all at once Deebs

 

[Ryuno]

I'm subscribed and adds arn't showing, so working correctly for me.

 

[~Yuckfou~]

May I respectfully suggest a sticky telling people how to sub, I used to but I'm not now apparently. I have been drinking so I might be missing something. If this isn't feedback see if I give a bollocks and ban me. Thx.

/edit
Stella and typing skilz don't mix.

The sticky posts no longer appear seperated (by a line below them) from the "other" posts. unless I imagined this before.

bomber bob arcade game wont load, it just sits on the "loading" screen with the bar full at 100%.

Tried refreshing, tried navigating away from the page and coming back to it, tried waiting a few hours, tried leaving the browser open, tried fiddling with the flash settings, nothing seems to work.

I get the impression this is the same for alot of others since theres only 1 person on the highscores list

I miss that line too.

The bar seperating stickies is a template edit. I guess it must of got wiped when updating the templates.

Case you need it, from the changelog on my boards.

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Template -> <style name>

Double Click Forum Display Templates
Double Click FORUMDISPLAY

Find this code and add the bold:

<if condition="$show['threads']">
<!-- show threads -->
<if condition="$show['stickies']">
$threadbits_sticky
<tr><td class="thead" colspan="<if condition="$show['threadicons'] AND $show['inlinemod']">7<else /><if condition="!$show['threadicons'] AND !$show['inlinemod']">5<else />6</if></if>">&nbsp;</td></tr>
</if>
$threadbits
<!-- end show threads -->
<else />

This will insert a bar that separates the two types of threads.

 

[Dweller]

Can you test again for me please Dweller....

Yep, seems to be working now, I can definitely see ads at the bottom of each thread now, both when signed in, or as a guest.

 

[Rickie]

It back!! :worthy:

 

[haarewin]

It back!! :worthy:

yup, its working now.

FH logo seems to have gone funny again on the FH theme, its got a border again.

Deebs, the quotesDB is only displayed in the Freddyshouse and DAOC themes, not the others.

 

[Chilly]

deebs considering that its a bannable offense to post links to daoc cheats and sell plats on these forums dont you think you're taking the piss with the adverts? Perhaps try a different agency or something - google arnt the best paying if you know where to look.

also, you cant rate a quote unless it is the random quote.

Do you wanna pay for the entire cost of hosting? .......... Is that a no? .......... Then shut the fuck up.

Deebs has a life ya know (job, kids, etc). I'm sure when he gets some spare time he will more than likely tweak the google ads. Until then, don't tell those that give you something for nothing that they're taking the piss you ungrateful shit.

 

[Ch3tan]

Way to mis-read Chilly's intentions meg. Move your bed from against the wall, you've obviously been getting out of the wrong side and need a change.

Users can close/open their own threads.

Was this inplace before the upgrade ? Im not sure, and in this instance would a thread owner be able to re-open a thread locked by an admin ?

 

[Chilly]

back in the day a closed thread could be re-opened by the starter even if it was closed by a mod. I used to have great fun with that til it was disabled. It's an oversight if its back on though.

Nhh

I seem to remember being able to do this a couple of months ago, but I could be thinking of another forum tbh.

Just tested and a user can re-open their thread if its locked by a mod - mmm nice.

 

[GReaper]

Is any effort being made to remove the gold/account/cheat adverts?
