Plz don't ban me for this, but I really have been trying to fix it and the staff at proboards just threaten to ban me basically instead of helping me fix it. For a little while now the adverts haven't been showing up, not on proboards and not here. I posted on proboards to have someone help me fix this and no one will i was just threatened basically, but it came down to other people with the same problem and not just me but still on these forums i cant see the ads, so can someone here plz help me fix it..it is really annoying seeing the box telling me to fix something that i have tried to fix. So here is some information that I think you may need to help me fix this.

* I'm running windows Vista
* I have windows Defender on
* I use FF
* I use Kastersky as an anti-viruse (I have disabled it and they still dont show)
* Also I have tried it in IE and they still dont show.

Again i'm trying to fix it so please don't ban me...

What do you see instead?

*moved to support*

If they're not showing in either browser then there's most probably an ad blocking facility built into your firewall/anti-virus software, there may even be something built into Vista but I've not used it so wouldn't know. Since you've tried disabling the Anti-virus then that leaves "Windows Defender" as a likely culprit. Can you try briefly disabling that and seeing if they show then? If not then how do you connect to the internet? Is it through an external router?

i dont know how to disable windows defender..i dont even know how it got turned on...and this is what i see:

Ummand sorry for where i posted t i miss read what the boards title was. and i use a dsl modem and up until i think it was as for last monday that they worked and then they disappeared and i have been running Vista for a couple months now so i dont think thats is...

So they have shown on here (vFS) before?

What have you changed since then?

they showed when i first signed up and then they where gone the next day now every where dont have google ads showing...and i just want to get it fixed mainly because i dont wnat to get banned... and i haven't changed anything...

Let me just make this clear, you wont be banned at all

Do you have ad-block for FF?

Also, I'm thinking there might be a block on the ads page.. .Have you got another computer on the network (same internet access) that you could test?

is the ad-block an add on, if so then no. ya theres my moms pc...

Could you just go and quickly see what happens when you test on there... preferably log in as yourself etc...

ok

Edit: yes they show up on my pc..

Is your moms PC Vista, or Below?

below...XP home..

bumpo

The only possible option here is that you have ad-block software on your computer. Try searching for it from the start menu, or going to your programs list in the control panel and looking for it there.

Well i think it was something in vista...my hdrive went out yesterday and luckily i had another hdirve and now i'm running XP Pro and i see the ads fine..

Edit: Ok its not Vista,...i reinstalled Kaspersky so i would have an anti virus and now the banners are gone again..so i found the problem and now i wil try to fix it..

Windows vista is a little too secure i think

Why bump a topic two weeks after it's been fixed, just to post something that doesn't help what's being discussed in the topic?
