    I am getting a bunch of ads on when I view The Shave Den. There are also 404 Page Not Found errors. Are the ads intentionally placed there by TSD or should I be checking for malware?

    Thanks guys! Then I will assume the ads were not put there by TSD management. Ad Block Plus fixed the problem.

    I tried it on another browser on another system that just had Windows installed. Nope, its not malware.

    How ironic... Aw well, it that's what pays the bills then so be it.

    I never see ads on TSD... And I have no ad blocker installed.

    In the Tapatalk discussion thread, it was mentioned that ads only appear if you're not logged in.

    So, Tapatalk jacks the end user for ad revenue if they are not logged in, and the forum that the end user is visiting if they are logged in???

    That is heinous.

    We just started playing with ads yesterday. They should only be showing if you are NOT logged in. Logged in members should not be seeing any ads. This is our way of trying to generate some extra money for the forum, without impacting our members. In the pic you attached, I can see you're not logged in.....

    Unless you're in tapatalk. Sometimes tapatalk does show ads, but that is their doing not ours. No ads displayed in tapatalk are served by TSD.

    Not quite.
    The only thing Tapatalk does is overwrites our affiliate links with their own.

    But that discussion is separate from this one.

    I didn't intend to start a tapatalk bash, just mentioned where I saw the reference...

    I love ad blocker. Glad to hear no ads when logged in. My problem is that I keep getting logged out even though I check stay logged in. That has been going on for about three weeks or so now.

    I thought maybe you had gotten that straightened out. Did you try my suggestions?

    Not able to duplicate that.... Are you checking the stay logged in option?
