Oh no... now I have to scroll even with the full screen mode to click in the click exchange to see the levels of the pokemon..that's really annoying.
can't you turn of the ads for the click exchange only or sth like that?

Mew use ctrl - or + to make the page a bit smaller/bigger
use ctrl 0 to make it back to standard.
good luck

The fact is, it's not a suggested solution. We have been trying to keep the site free for the past three years. The only way to do so, is to keep the income from the advertisements (which cover the server costs). By blocking the ads, you are essentially telling us "screw you, I don't care that the site is free, I am not going to see the advertisements either".Su-licious wrote:MewMisaki, you can use a ad blocker to block the ad and so ^^

I do not mind the ads, and will enable them per site basis but how do you guarantee that my computer will not be affected by virus laden ads? Seems letting an ad though these days is playing russian roulette. Also I do not like animated ads, I prefer text ads.

stefanol, I care for the site. If I wouldn't I hadn't made the account for neobux. But I had the block for other sites, where the ads weren't for keeping the servercosts...and so it blocks automatically this site also xD'

Ecco, Thank you for the tip, but that's annoying because all other VA-sites are smaller than, too so I can't read in the forums while clicking in CE without changing the size again and again. Well, if there can't be done anything else I'll have to live with it, it seems.
Su-licious, I already have an ad blocker for other websites, too but that doesn't help either because the space for the ads is there even if they are blocked.

Hm. I cannot see the ads on my FireFox. I wasn't aware I had an ad blocker up. However I can see them through my other browsers.
I think it might be a benefit to the site if users were to click the ads every now and then ;]

Re: External Site Event #1! Win Shiny Articuno, Zapdos, Molt
Can we put the ads at the bottom of the page so we don't have to scroll for the click exchange?
Sorry if this was already answered, it's hard to read the forums on my phone.

Re: External Site Event #1! Win Shiny Articuno, Zapdos, Molt
why does it have to be right up there in my face? Can it be put to the sidebars? There is a lot of unused space on both sides. I will continue to block it because it's right there in my face and I do not like it. If it's somewhere unobtrusive then I will allow it though .

Many sites have the ads on top; basically because advertisers pay more to be placed there, since they are 'right up your face' after all.
They have been there before the Neobux event, so it will just take a while for you to get used to it again, I suppose.
I think putting it at the sidebars might mess up the general design
(The Forum has a fixed size, if your screen is smaller than average, you either wouldn't see the forum or you wouldn't see the ad without scrolling),
and to be honest, I don't like ads at my sidebars. At all.
Maybe it's just preference, though.

not the sites I'm at. I can name at least a few that have the ad set at the bottom or on the side. Dragcave, dnadopts, squibly, pokeplushies/clickcritters have them either at the bottom or at the side.

They are designed differently, so they place the ads at other places.
Dragoncave forums also have the ads on top, actually.
I don't doubt that there are sites which places the ads at different spots, but I am just saying the easiest solution for us is to put the ads up there and down there instead of at the sides.
And like I said, I am sure it's a matter of preference actually!
I honestly dislike Squiby for having the ads at the side instead of on top.
While I understand the frustration with the ads on top;
I still want to point out what stef said. We tried to keep the site mostly adfree for a long period of time, with stefanol covering the costs by himself when Neobux and donations weren't enough for the month.
You cannot blame him for bringing the ads back.
And unlike other Adoptables sites, we do not offer 'services' like premium accounts or special Adopts you could buy to get an other way of income.

I keep clicking on it by accident and normally when i clicked pokemon on CE it appeared on the screen, now i have to scroll down, so i cant go on that anymore
Dont get me wrong, i understand why and glad that the site is free, just annoying but i'll get used to it
Ps I'm not complaining, just saying

Re: External Site Event #1! Win Shiny Articuno, Zapdos, Molt
I think that unfortunately there is currently no other way than with the banners. It bothers me too, but must close before Stef Virtuadopt I prefer participating in the banner purchase. The server is expensive and I can certainly understand the cost of the Stef for the long term can not pay out of pocket. Perhaps there will soon be something else which can Stef fund the server. Virtuadopt is available for us, we have no cost. The only one who has to pay is Stef. Neobux was a good idea, unfortunately it has not brought the cost. What then remains except advertising?.

Hello stefanol
I'm not complaining
I said : xD
That's not the same as (a angry smile)
It's more like : too bad, but true xD
I have to say, yes it's really too bad that Neobux has stopped, and that the ads are back
But I do understand, there is no really other choice, just accept it
I'm happy that VA is and stays free, that's the most important thing
It's maybe a little bit annoying that the ads are back, but we get used to it (at least, I can get used to it, like before we had Neobux)
Thank you very much for still use VA for free
And thank you very much TsukinoRan for donating so much money, you didn't have to do it for me, but thanks
That's very kind from you
And do you get some money only by showing the ads,
or does it only works if people click the ads ?

Re: External Site Event #1! Win Shiny Articuno, Zapdos, Molt
i know VA is a free game, but... i know another game, where are ads to. and "premium" accounts. it`s easy: you can buy rubins und can use them to get no ads for a period of time. no other advantages, easily no ads. so it`s to the users if they want ads for helping the side or to buy adfreeness (i know no other word to describe it^^)
i don`t know how it would be here but maybe it would be an option here too?
