For the last 2 days before I was logged in ads (text only) were visible in the body of the 1st post. This happens when I use the email link to the site notifying me there is a new post in a thread I'm watching.
When I logged in outside that link the ads disappear. They are still visible today. |

I thought we were suppose to be add free! Sounds like someone found a way to sneak them in.
I "stay" logged in so I have not witnessed it, but others will....Perhaps you should inform the site through the "Contact us" above?

Placement of ads on our website was discussed as a means by which to generate much needed revenue. We do have operational costs. Although $15 to $20 in ad income would have been most helpful paying our monthly bills, we determined them inappropriate for our community. We believed then as we do now that syndicated ads are in conflict with all that we stand for. That would include text only ads.
We have never authorized third party ads. May I ask where you are seeing these ads?

I just went in on hubbies side of the computer and jumped in as an" unknown" to see if any popped into view. (I didn't actually LOG in) as Will-o had stated seeing the adds "previous" to a log in. I could view the basics of the sight....No adds showing. Hmmm Guess you'll have to wait for Will-O
LORAX Are they working in the photo area on the site this week? I can't upload any of mine as they are... ![]()

We are doing all that is humanly possible addressing known issues. We are aware there are problems with photos.
Repairing our albums was our first priority. Evidently photos were negatively impacted when doing so. We ask for your patience while we attempt to fix them.

Thanks...I figured they may be working on things again. It's nice to know someone's working for the good of all in the background.
So much upkeep in everyting...Sigh

I just checked again and if I click on the link that is sent by email to notify me there is a new post on a thread I subscribe to 3 or lines of ads are present right after the text in the 1st post. It also has arrows to click on that says more ad choices.
The ad text is blue and black lettering. It doesn't matter what thread it is, they they all have the ads in the same spot. Does anyone else get email notification of a thread and then click on the link to get to this site? |

The only time I receive e-mail notification is when I have a "new" private message to read.
I disabled receiving E-mails whenever there's new posts.

We're not sure why this is happening. It could be an unintended consequence of the host change, one of us clicking the wrong box in the setup area, or one of those proverbial computer gremlins. This kind of thing can be difficult when it comes to nailing down the problem/solution. Fixing this problem is on our 'to do' list. It is especially aggravating for us since we would never agree to promote some of those companies, they are counter to everything WG stands for. Right now though we have a lot more things on our plates than we can handle with the time we have available. We will get to it, but it may take awhile. Fortunately, for the time being, just logging-in should eliminate the ads for our members. Please let us know if anyone is seeing ads after logging-in.

Although I do get some e-mail notifications, I have been logging in (stay logged on so it is automatic when I open the site), and I've not seen any ads.
I'd also like to say something positive about photos: My photo albums hadn't been working for several months but seem to be working well NOW! ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm hoping the transition to a new host goes smoothly for all of you working behind the scenes. I'd not have known it had happened had I not seen one or two messages indicating so.
