Naughty ad on front page

Victor

(no not that kind of naughty)

IT simply says "click me" as it it was a boards.ie link, but resolves to

http://adserver.adtech.de/adlink|257|1081533|0|1|AdId=1330060;BnId=2;itime=105687761;key=key1+key2+key3+key4;nodecode=yes;link=#altimageclick#

I noticed this also

Ugh as I suspected, boards has sold out.

DeVore

Eh? Sorry, I'm confused and know nothing about this.

The ad background was white, with navy Vedana 9 point text to match board.ie nearly exactly. The text simply said "Click me"

I clicked on the page link victor and nothing came up!

Yeah, what's with the denied gratification, Victor? I demand tittilation!

@ DeV, This 'advert' usually appears at the top of the page where the other banner ads appear.

The background colour of the banner is the same blue-grey as the background of the page. It looks like 'Alt' text as if the banner image hasn't actually loaded and instead we get a 'Click Me' link that essentially points to the adserver.

I only ever noticed in on the inedx page but others may have seen it elsewhere?

DeVore

Dunno about it at all.... perhaps Vexorg can shed some light, he looks after a lot of the ads.

In this case resolving to:

404

Edited to make it easier on the eye

Its not there for me.

No, when I refreshed the page, it was gone and there was a regular ad in its place. I reckon this is just hyperlinked 'Alt' attribute HTML. So either some ads don't have an image or aren't loading correctly.

Edit, as I type, there was another at the top of this thread...so much for it only appearing on the index page (see attached). Clicking on it leads to a 404.

Sierra Oscar

Oh I see it now...and I also get an error when I try and load the link.

Vexorg

No Idea what it is - might be a problem with the salesonline adserver - not showing for me, does it resolve for anyone?
