I think Fireshock photoshopped it for demo purposes of what would be unacceptable.

Here's a better picture to prove it was not photoshopped. I was going through a thread, when suddenly the banner expanded over the entire browser and blacked everything that wasn't the ad, and then started playing audio. I was completely dumbfounded.

I cropped it because I was hoping people wouldn't accuse me of photoshopping, also to avoid any "LOL IE" comments. Then I realized it was inevitable, so saved an uncropped version too.

I've got ABP disabled, and NoScript disabled - and I still only have 1 banner at the bottom. What browser are you using so I can try it.

I use IE because Firefox is a resource *****. I only have it open here because I was testing something.

Edit: And before anyone gives me **** about having /v/ opened, I'm not a troll.

I have no interest in being forced to use a client to download mods. Downloading them from links in threads works just fine for me.

Its almost like... you didn't read a single... ahh, forget it.

He should probably say so - or the next 8 pages will be unbearable :tongue.gif:

I can't get that with Opera, Chrome or FF - and I can't install IE

I interpreted the meaning of your post incorrectly, sorry.

Oh, okay, I just realized how easily my post could've been misinterpreted. Didn't mean for it to sound like a mock-up.

I really don't know what caused it. All I did was open a thread.

Fireshock, stop doing that, next time I'll issue a warning. These adverts DO NOT EXIST here, or on the wiki, you're free to check our source code to find exactly what's causing that, you'll see nothing can be.

Admit that it's fake or warnings will be issued, now is not the time for that.

I swear to God it isn't fake! Another user just confirmed there are flash ads like that in IE!

I love these forums and would never fake anything like that. I'm being completely serious here.

Oh great now we have the propaganda machine coming in. Wahey!




I'm standing by Fireshock.

Those're the worst kind of ads, too. The kind you don't usually get on forums.

Man, I didn't even notice if my mouse went over it or not. 3 seconds is a really short time.

Yeah, I hate the ones photobucket has.

Things like this will just make more people turn to adblockers.

Happens when I hovered over an ad with a plus sign and then there's a count down clock that appears for 3 seconds.

Honestly. I'm fine with image ads, but not flash ads. Especially not these ones. Is there a way to get them changed, because otherwise I will be recommending that this entire forum run adblock and I know you don't want that.

What the official Minecraft forum should look like: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php

C'mon Notch, splurge a little and put an end to this Activision Notch nonsense.

What? This forum looks much better than Bay12's. Unless you're referring to the lack of ads.

Yes, lack of ads, and run/moderated by the creator of the game. I feel Minecraft is big/successful enough by now, that the community deserves it.

Pop-up ads:

Well this sucks.

Notch doesn't manage, administer, own or otherwise influences this forum decisions. minecraftforum.net is independent from Notch or his company, Mojang Specifications. You are barking at the wrong tree.

Anyways, would still love to know anything about my early question, which wasn't answered yet, citricsquid:

Question:
Will this move facilitate an upgrade to a more robust bulletin board software? Something like vBulletin. Because quite frankly, while I use phpBB myself and am quite pleased with it, let there be no mistake: phpBB isn't suited for the size of the community you guys built here, neither it has many of the facilities that could make this community even better.
