on the pages with the ad links...does the address start with forums.wincusomize?

that the one I see the adds on, which is/was the forum beta : T-Man was/is working on changing things.

Yes, it's on the forum pages that I'm seeing this. And it's still there today. Hopefully T-Man gets it fixed soon. It would appear that the html code is being ignored as well,for replys.

I chatted with t-man. He's aware. It's a bug. It'll get fixed. No timeline provided.
I'll trade speed for IntelliAds for a while. And WC speed is good today.

To be honest I haven't noticed a difference in site speed since the upgrade. But I do find the ads very annoying. And they're probably the reason there wasn't an increase in speed for me.  Something got to power the ad engine.  Hopefully it'll be fixed soon.  

citsym nogard  ...see what happens if you logout...delete WC cookies and login again.

I for one am not seeing the text ads in the forum...so it's not necessarily system-wide....

es the address start with forums.wincusomize?

Im seeing the same ad hyperlink text all through forums..after logging out and deleting cookies its still there. Also the " look " of forum keeps changing on me. One minute its the new look then the page hangs up - I exit , come back and its old site again.

Why is the font on the new forum look like a size 6 ? Is there a way to reset that ?

I must be blessed this time, as I'am not getting those ad's and the speed has picked up.  Hope I didn't jinks it.

About 90% of the time, when I go to the main (front) page of WC, I see a banner (GalCiv?) loading in the middle of the page, but it disappears after the page is finished loading...however when I move my cursor over the middle of the page, the banner's border appears with alt text that says something about clicking to activate controls. I don't see that on any other page, just the main page. I'm using IE7 beta (latest build), and am also not able to use the "insert picture" feature in this post.

I also get same as ama02 on Firefox and IE7 when page first loads, it is as though the page loads before it checks for cookies.

There were some modifications made to the front page of wincustomize by some of the team to make it faster. You may see these temporary sections (and the dissappearing) until they figure out how to make that a bit quicker.

Thanks for the explanation andrew!
