Brewerfan.net brought to you by ESPN Mobile?

[NeedMoreFans]

So I logged in a couple times today to BF.net (on different computers), and a couple times before I could continue on to where I wanted to go, I got a big advertisement (an entire web page) for ESPN mobile...then I had to click on a link to get me back to BF.net. So is the site being sponsored by ESPN Mobile now? I'm confused as to why this happened...

You're not the only one; got this a couple times lately.

[Jim Goulart]

Just happened to me for the first time. This hasn't been discussed among staff -- I'll get in touch with Brian ASAP to see what's up....

Do you get this advertisement when you visit the fan forum, or when you visit the main site?

[PeaveyFury]

Fan forum... just got it briefly today.

 

I hit back before I could read it closely.

 

Mine wasn't even a log in- got it when I hit my bookmark.

Brian:

 

I just got it using the "mark forum read" link.

 

Here is a screen shot:

Just got it when I opened up this thread, how ironic.

 

I clicked the little "About this Ad" link, and here's what it says:

 

"This full-screen Active Interstitial is an actual website from one of Brewerfan.net's premier sponsors. It will appear no more than once per day. To go directly to Brewerfan.net, click on the 'Continue to Brewerfan.net' link. Thanks for supporting Brewerfan.net!

 

Powered by AdBrite"

I just wanted to make sure I didn't get a wierd virus or something.

Me too on "mark forum read."

Does ezboard have power to do interstitials like that now?

 

(I haven't seen it yet)

[tomwopat]

just saw it myself.

[Brian the Automator]

It's not ezBoard, it's AdBrite which I use for ads at the bottom of the page. What the heck? I've never approved one of those types of ads, because they're so intrusive and annoying. I'll look into it.

[rluzinski]

It's not that big of a deal if you are actually getting money for it.

[Brian the Automator]

I've removed the ads from the forum pages until I can figure out what's going on. The minimal revenue I get from those ads isn't worth that kind of hassle for you guys.
