you should only be able to see it if you're an admin... and maybe if you're a mod.

[R31Nismoid]

Nope

They were disabled for ALL users logged in until about 30/40mins ago when i saw them all of a sudden.

I remember Christian saying they would only be there for guests during the upgrade, forget where

[Shell]

hehe yeah i noticed this... thought it was just an admin thing..

[Beer Baron]

nismoid, are you sure it's not just admin that can see it?

[funkymonkey]

let me logon as my test user and see if I can still see it.

[Mr Sniper911]

If it helps i cant see it!

hmmm... as a pleb user I can see google ads too.

buggar!

[R31Nismoid]

And you didnt believe me the first time?

Trust me, this only happened maybe 30-40mins before i posted.

I havent been able to see any ads since the upgrade till then

I kept seeing them and they were very annoying.

They would always be the second post in every thread.

I'm not sure if its because of the way i have Firefox set up, in that it deletes all cookies when i close the browser which would

effectively make me a guest when browsing the forums before i logged in?

[Col-GTSX]

I can confirm sightings...

[funkymonkey]

both firefox and IE show them...

interesting. will investigate.

ash, you're always the boy that cries wolf3d

[funkymonkey]

well i've disabled it for everyone but guests, validating users and banned users. so we should be all ad free if we are members.

although the settings seem to have been edited to show only admins the ads. maybe prank was playing around with it, maybe those were the defaults once installed.

anywho, turned them off for members, if that's not the way its supposed to be then let me know.

[R31Nismoid]

Maybe he was playing around earlier?

They certainly werent for member viewing (found the link)

A google ads engine has been added, though its not entirely functional yet. This will be displayed for non registered / logged in users only!! This will not impact you unless you do not log in. This is to try and assist with our monstrous server costs.

i noticed them the other day, when i changed from the Dark Skin, to the light skin.

test: it doesnt do it anymore.

[PranK]

Crap!

sorry guys, was on for admins while i tested... i must've forgotten to disable it. :|
