Are the ads live? Or am I being a bad member and blocking them?
Sadly they aren't hosted on a ad site so ad block plus don't work.
Some adblocking does work. Maybe not all. I have no idea how some detect it as an ad since it is all hosted inside the application.
It could be using algorithms, like looking for the "sponsored by" text, or comparing the image against a database of other ads.
-
It looks like an ad form factor, has ad location placement and links to another site. Wouldn't take much to guess. I wonder if it blocks if it doesn't link anywhere?

It turns out I've had AdBlocker off for this site for a while now, lol. The ad doesn't appear to cause any issues for me on my Office machine. I'll check my laptop tonight and see.
-
Adblocker on = I'm still seeing ads
And every time I go to a new page, it reappears. -

Been nothing to block other than a few hours of testing a few weeks ago.

Yeah.... right click -> block element seems to be useless on these. Not really diggin' that....

Sound like an adblocker issue.
-
I don't care about the ads, so long as the content gets centered again.
Making me strain my head to the left to feel like I'm in front of the content.
-
uBlock origin really wants me to see this ad....

Yep and I'm totally and completely fine with that.
-
My only request about ads is that they are hosted on ML, not pulled from an ad stream. Those streams are where all kinds of malware come from, plus tracking and all kinds of slowness.
OH.. do the ads show up on mobile?
-
Oh yeah... get out there and test mobile pages on everything that you can!!

They are. These are pure images with "a" link tags. We are keeping this light, safe and fast.

That seems like a lot of extra work. Although at least then you can guarantee the content displayed.
-
I realize it's a ton of extra work, plus many vendors might not allow/want it because then they have to trust ML's numbers and not get them directly from the tracking crap they tack on when you pull from their streams.. but yeah know what F#%@@#'em. I want a light, fast, CLEAN experience.
I hope, Hope, HOPE that doesn't change here.

I doubt it will. Vendors will probably still have a records of ML since they will see what site the inbound link was from, are they called referral links? Look at the link for this xbyte add. It has that right in there.

On both my iphone and ipad mini the ads show up at the bottom of the screen.

only if you click on it. If you don't click, they know nothing.
