Edit: After this reply too, very anoying.

What ads are you talking about?
The only ads we have, are shown to guest, other then the one in the post.
The site is loading fine for me, what type of internet do you have?

**Cerberus** · 03-22-2009, 06:49 AM

Well, the site is loading fine for me and nothing seems to be slow though, I did noticed on my tab that one of your google ads has some sticking problem, which may cause it to be slower for people who have slow connections, I dont know. But for some reason the google add never loaded

**Brandon Sheley** · 03-22-2009, 07:56 AM

Well I could remove the 1 add that members see....
I suggest getting faster internet

**juster** · 03-22-2009, 09:35 AM

I have fast internet connection, and I did not say it was slow now. I said the ads went crazy again, like other users seem to experience too. Do you use random banners? I did not look which banners the prob gave because the page loads to quick each time and I end up on top of the page.

I use openX for my header and sidebar, which have both been disabled.
The only ads that members see right now is the 728x90 adsense ad under the first post.

Maybe I'm missing another banner, but do you see any others than the 728 one?

thx

*edit*
I've noticed some issues with the self hosted openX
I might go try their hosted version of openX.

I just had another adprob. I posted a new topic and the Google ads in the right upper corner went crazy and the page kept refreshing,

**Brandon Sheley** · 03-23-2009, 07:44 AM

hmm, I'm not sure why

I don't even have that ad running though openX

Let me ask you, what browser are you using? and do you have DSL or somewhat fast net?
It's running fine for me, on FF and IE
oh, what resolution is your screen at also?

thx

**juster** · 03-23-2009, 07:59 AM

It only happends if the Google text ads are shown, just happend again.

I am on my laptop, running Vista Basic, IE 7, 1280x800 and use DSL connection.
I will check later on my desktop in my office, but that is a new one and is not configured yet.

**Brandon Sheley** · 03-23-2009, 09:15 AM

and is it just the 486 add, or the 728 as well?
I'm wondering if it's that "vboptimize" hack, it has some style cahching options.

Thanks for the feed back juster

**juster** · 03-23-2009, 09:28 AM

I think it is the 468 add, since I see that one changing, but to be honest, it goes so quick I cannot see the other one (it refresher before I even get there...)
Better becarefull, because Google has closed down accounts for the strangest things, I lost mine too and had a pretty good income with them.

I'm not worried about google closing my account, I'm not doing anything against the TOS.

Believe me, me neither.In my case they said it was because of adult material. Well, you know what my board is about and adult is a thing you would not find there. A shame, specialy since there is not an good alternative around (tried Yahoo, what a disaster...)

That looks very promising. Thanks for the suggestion, even though it wasn't for me LOL I am going to check them out.

I've talked about it before
Check out Rubicon Projects
the downside, is they take a % off the top
but you get the options to use several sites, cpx, trible, adsense

Whenever I visit this thread:
Free Wordpress Theme - BLUE & BLACK - Free Download

The page reloads unlimited amounts of time..something is wrong with that thread. I should go home sign on and then just let it run..

**juster** · 03-24-2009, 07:18 AM

That problem is known (not solved yet). See the topic here: Vbulletin setup slow

**Cerberus** · 03-24-2009, 10:41 AM

Well, its working fine here, but I just want to say I think the orange and white ad at the top is pretty sweet

**~kev~** · 03-24-2009, 02:27 PM

The pages are loading fine for me.

**Brandon Sheley** · 03-24-2009, 02:30 PM

It works fine for me on FF, but when I merged the last two threads, I was checking out the WP style in IE, and it was constantly reloading.

**juster** · 03-25-2009, 12:43 AM

Happy to see you had it too. And although FF is very much used, IE is still being used mostly.
But that does not make the problem go away, it is very strange. I do not know what mod you are using with this, but maybe try another one or not one at all and add the code manualy?

**Brandon Sheley** · 03-25-2009, 07:35 AM

Miner is going to take a look at it, but he's had some personal issues come up, so we are waiting on him to take a look.
I've been thinking about adding the default vBulletin style and setting it as default.
I'll be able to fixed the customized style without disturbing all the members.

**Brandon Sheley** · 03-26-2009, 07:22 PM

How is it now, I think miner made some changes

**Lima Bean** · 03-30-2009, 08:35 PM

Hey, I noticed when I was on the site tonight using IE7 that the pages want to continually refresh. I visited in Firefox and this does not happen. Beyond ditching IE7, which I won't do, is there something I should be doing to make it stop misbehaving?

Thanks, it's been reported.
I'm actually working on a new default style, that I'll switch on to override the others as soon as I get a few more hours to work on it.
You are welcome to use this style now if you wish, I still have a few bugs but it's pretty much finished, just a few tweaks that I want to add still.

**Brandon Sheley** · 03-31-2009, 03:20 PM

As soon as I get the security token issue fixed on the new style, I'll be switching over

I already have vba setup for my side column, just waiting on a reply from Morgan over at thevbgeek.
