I call this to much (Monkey Business) this site needs to trim some of the Ad's away and Polish it up a Bit..

If you consider the above "being looked into" and I mean that with no disrespect, however I don't think you can get attention from higher up the ladder. How many times must a member sign in for there "Premium Subscription" to be recognized?

There doesn't appear to be anything on our side that is causing this.

I just ran an experiment. I tried using the forums both signed in and not signed in with Safari, FireFox and IE8. The Safari and FireFox tests were run on my MacBook Pro, the IE8 was on an MS WinXP box. On each one, when I logged in the ads disappeared. It did not matter if I had checked the remember me box or not. I did not check Chrome, as I refuse to allow it on any machine I own, in fact it has never been on either one since the last hard drive formats on each machine.

I am not saying that Chrome might be the problem, but those are Google ads and Chrome is owned by Google so... Now, I realize that at least one person in this topic mentioned that they use Chrome and see no ads, but need I point out that the AdBlock extension was built specifically for Chrome, I have no way of knowing if that person was running AdBlock. The unfortunate part of Chrome (especially on Windows boxes) is that support routines are shared across applications (DLLs on Windows). If you are using Chrome (or even have Chrome installed) try finding a computer that doesn't have it at all and log in there and see if the problem persists.

I think you are asking if you need to log in more than once for your Premium Membership to be recognized; if so, the answer is once. See my previous post.

Oh, BTW, I forgot to mention that I had logged out of the main site and ran the same set of tests on just being logged in at the Forums Login with the exact same results.

@ Loumaag

If it's ok to Mention I'm one of one's using Chrome Lou that is what is keeping me Logged in to the post Longer i guess it's the way it's set up. I'm not using Ad block how ever but will check it out very soon & may add it to the browser) And i'm going to try and have a paid subscription by the Middle of March! Ra

I would like to verify that you are still having the problem. If so are you using Chrome as a browser; if not, have you used Chrome on the computer this problem is showing itself.

If you are using Chrome (or it was there before), could you try using a different computer (one that has never had Chrome installed) just to see if the problem still exists. As you can probably gather, I am suspicious that Chrome may be root cause of the situation.

Just get AdBlock Plus. It's free and a chrome extension. There is also one for Firefox. It blocks every ad on almost every website including prerolls in youtube videos. I still chuckle at the fact "no ads" is still being used as an incentive to buy premium memberships on websites.

Adblock Plus - Surf the web without annoying ads!

I have no problem with using AdBlock, indeed I use it (in Safari); but, that doesn't address the problem. It's like slapping a bandage on laceration instead of getting stitches.
