This thread is for the staff of PMC to read.

Hello, I'm having a problem with your website. I'm not sure if it's client or server side (Me or you) but every time I go to a new page, every time I make a post, every time I do something that requires the page to change. I get a stupid ad that comes up taking the whole section of my screen, notifying me about "DC Universe" I know how ads work, and how if you visit a certain website and go to a different one, you'll see suggested ads on that previous website. But never have I done anything related to that ad. Anyway, if this is a problem that can be fixed, please do so. It's really annoying. Thanks

I have contempt for disabling my adblock... however PMC is the one site I'm ok with seeing a few ads on.

Do you use mac or windows, do you have a virusscan installed.
I have never had this issue so it may be client-side.
Did you have this on other websites too?

Windows
McAfee
Just this website

I believe that the ad provider is paid to show people's ads, then the ad provider pays PMC for showing said ads. So, no matter how many people get Adblock, it will never interfere with PMC's ability to make revenue off of it.

This is not true, adblock blocks the adds from the add server, if the image is not shown there will not be add revenue for pmc.

However it may be that this is a pmc add. in that case its fair that you block this site.

I use adblock but I disable it for most site I often visit and that deserve the money.

As I said, "I believe". Thank you for clearing that up.

Anyway, ads on PMC aren't really that bad. Let me tell you how to easily remove annoying ones, without blocking every single ad.

On my Adblock software, it has an extension menu with the ability to turn it on/off for that page. It also has the ability to block single ads on any pages too. So, if you see something annoying, but doesn't fit the description of ads that you can ask Paril to remove, just use that.

I'd suggest sending the link of the ad to Paril or a super mod and they can report the ad. This is normally what people do.
