Still getting ads
« on: March 12, 2017, 11:17:32 AM »
I am still getting ads as a supporter, but the worst is, every time I click on a page today the Atomic Blonde trailer pops up at the bottom of the page and scrolls me down to it and won't let me scroll off of it without closing it. It's a great trailer, but this is annoying. LOL. Anyone else experiencing this?

Wow, do i hate that ad.  I am not going to see that movie just because of the issues it's causing to read a thread here.

Still get ads, but so far none have had volume to them like the movie ads, yet!

thanks for bringing this to my attention. neither of you should not be seeing adds due to your subscription status.  I've double checked the settings and frankly am not sure why you are still seeing it.

I need to dive deeper into this.  Please forgive the delay while i get this sorted.

Does anyone else who has an active paid subscription still see adds?

I donate through Patreon, and have been seeing ads. Do I need to switch to the subscription to make it easier for the admin team? I seem to remember you saying it was trickier to turn them off for the Patreon folks.

I did notice when I looked at my subs, that the same sub is listed as both "active" and "finished" so not sure what's up with that.....the ads wouldn't even bug me if that damn Atomic Blonde one would stop scrolling me to the bottom of the page and autoplaying every time. Ha. I never said anything about seeing ads until this new annoying development b/c I really just donate as it's the right thing to do. If I see ads and you make some pennies from it, all the better.....but this ad is making me crazy.

I don't care either about seeing the ads (I have been seeing them for a while), but have been wondering if the subscription would be easier on the Admin team, since Alyssa mentioned it a while back. Luckily, I haven't had the Atomic Blonde ad issue.

I don't know about specific ads as I use a service.
I might be able to dive into the service and block that specific one.

Unfortunately I may heading into an area where I am unable to get on line. I may not be able to get to this until after next weekend

Sub renews next month.  Maybe when this year becomes "finished" the ads will taper off.  If not, will try cancelling the reoccurring and resubmit.  (Mine is via PayPal, fwiw.)

I keep thinking there's some setting i'm missing but i've searched and searched.  I've got to find a correct acct and compare it to a non working.
I'll have some time to do that next week.  We're getting to a town in mid Vietnam which is mellow & we've got a bunch of days off.  this will be a good project  ;)

So my subscription renewed last week by PayPal for another full year (the $40 option) but I still see ads and the supporter title is gone, too. I checked the current sub statues and it says that it is active until April 2018.

I noticed the same thing, subscription renewed a few weeks back, but supporter tag is gone.

there are 2 problems
the subscriber not being shown
<easy to fix, i just need to time as it's tedious>

and the second, the ads still being shown. 
I've got to figure out why this is happening still- that can take some time depending on how quick I am at finding the issue.
