This is happening on my forum ( www.fantasticalforum.com ) and another totally different forum I belong to ( http://anewspace.20.forumer.com/inde...82faae058a4cc6 )

I've had a few members on my board complain, but I myself have not seen the "Ebay" page.

**Wild Cat** · 03-25-2008, 12:33 PM

Well I suggest that the ads are the culprit so please request your forum to be switched back to Google ads ................. you can find the link in this thread...

if it keeps redirecting even after the ads are back we can fill a report.
Unfortunately a few of our support has tried recreate the problem an it did not happened to us.

It happened to me this morning. The Marx School ad opened over my General Discussion board and I hit the "X" to close it, but instead it took me to the Marx School site.

I will wait a few more days, then we will close down.

You have been to our site and know it is big and active. The complaints to me have been numerous. My request to switch back to Google ads was made on March 11th. Today is March 26. I see others who made their request after us and are already back!

Again, I would like to thank the techs who visited our site in an effort to help us. It's too bad that we cannot get any relief from this problem..........

**Wild Cat** · 03-26-2008, 05:56 AM

Issue Escalated!

This issue has been escalated and the admin was notified.
He will attend to the problem you reported in a timely manner.

Thanks for choosing Forumer!

Hey, I myself, as a guest got redirected to eBay from your forum today at 06:21 PM IST.

joebucknam · 03-26-2008, 11:53 AM

One of the ads that automatically come across our board automatically sends you to an ebay auction, and my Norton software tells me its leaving a Tracking cookie...We don't control the ads, and my members are complaining...Help!

Holzi · 03-26-2008, 11:59 AM

You can request for the old google-ads in this thread: New forum ads, request to your forum to get the "ads by google"

njretcop · 03-27-2008, 02:57 AM

Our Google Ads have been restored. Hopefully the forum will run faster, as it did before and the re-direct problem will be solved as well!

Thank you very much........

**Wild Cat** · 03-27-2008, 03:29 AM

Please all keep an eye out for this thing and if you notice anything report back to this thread.

We can leave it opened lets say for a week and if no redirect will occur we can just lock it

TMiller · 03-27-2008, 05:28 AM

I take it that if you pay to have the adds rtemoved the problem will also be solved?

**SawanM** · 03-27-2008, 07:29 AM

Yes, the problem will be solved if you pay for Ad Removal.

joebucknam · 03-27-2008, 01:08 PM

Our forum is a gossip board, and with some items and posts on the risque side, we may not be eligible for for the google ad switchback...it won't be fair to have to pay for ad-free just to get rid of this problem...

**Wild Cat** · 03-27-2008, 01:16 PM

Well you are either elligible for the ad switch because your forum respects and follows the TOS or you are violating them and then you are eligible for a deletion.

That's why the TOS is posted there, you as an admin(or whoever is the admin) have agreed with the terms when they signed up for a forum and it is their responsibility to make sure that the rules are followed.

So please read them again and make sure there is nothing that violates the TOS otherwise you might risk that your forum will go on the deletion list.

When you apply for the ad switch one of us will register and have a look at your forum, if we find something questionable we will PM/email you and ask you to remove it thats all, and you can have your ads back.

FredTransit · 03-28-2008, 08:34 AM

I have to say I am on Firefox and I NEVER see any of the ads, to the point of not understanding what my members meant when they complained. I know it's Firefox cos when I veiw the forum on my laptop or phone I see the ads, but not on my PC. It's not a huge help, but if everybody used Firefox the ads would not be seen. BTW has the problem with fbucks on server 10 been fixed? If not people on server 10 don't have the option to pay for the ad removal.
