Can you please tell me what the ad was so I can ban it?

These shipped Thursday from our warehouse. I can’t wait to hear mine.

Yep and now it wont bother browsers when you hit the site. Possibly turning people away. Better SEO too (though only i care about that lol). Thanks for the suggestion! Always here to help!

Hey kids! Looks like we are now SSL secure!! VC moves into the future =)

I am looking into converting the site to SSL this week. Its been on my list for a while. Its not really needed for a site that does not have money transactions, but your right its becoming a thing ever site is doing so why not VC? Right?

I have now disabled ad block for members only. If you are guest you will have to live with it or become a member! Hope everyone is happy with the new decision. I just want VC to live on no matter the actual costs involved and appreciate everyones support over the years. Member that are not bothered by the ads we appreciate if you do not use ad blockers, understand if you do. All we care is that VC members are happy! Please send all complains/comments/questions to me! Thanks again everyone!

@tokimedo you also have not gotten back to me about captcha not working with the trader feedback. Is it still not working for you?

We have indeed installed this as we see way too many people using add blocking software. This is a free service and all we ask for is people to see google ads. As the community grows so do the costs. VC does cost a decent amount of money each month to run and maintain. Maybe someone has another idea how to pay for the coder, server company and server tech to keep VC running at it best. Ever since we hired a new server tech VC has never been faster and online longer with issues. Sorry again!

Can you show me where this is happening? Maybe a screenshot?

Hey Everyone! Just a heads up we took a few hours this morning to do a massive software update. Lots of new features, security updates and bug fixes!

Welcome to the newest VC update. At 6 AM ET we did a huge software update to hopefully solve most or all of the last few months of bugs and issues. If anyone has any issues please contact me or post below! Screenshots are extremely helpful! Here is a link for all the Release Notes with all the nerdy details of what is now new and also fixed! https://invisioncommunity.com/release-notes/ We are now using IPS Community Suite 4.1.19.4 and updated from IPS Community Suite 4.1.16.1. Moving forward we hope to keep the site more updated now that we finally have some solid help on the tech side of things. Thank your mods for all their hard work please. They are what helps make VC amazing! Update: We have also updated the Trader Feedback system so any issues please let us know!

I blocked it. Looking for more like it now.

Can you share or show me what it was? I can block these via url or key words

Still trying to find a way to stop these forever. Going to contact google. I accepted a TON of ads and blocked the ones i was told could be causing the issues. Problem is google wants me to look through 4000 banners a day. FML

its a trial and error thing unfortunately. I will get the hang of it!

I am still working on trying to figure out which ads are real and spam. Just an update. I have to review like 200000 ads and find the rouge ads which are causing this mess. Again this is google ads letting spam ads show up on our mobile site. I apologize again. Any URL's please post them so i can try and find them faster and black them.

I use the forum all the time on my iPhone using safari and have never seen anything like this before. I can't believe it to be honest. Sorry everyone!! Still working on it! #makevcgreatagain

I have confirmed it is google ads causing these issues. I am working on fixing the issue! From what i was told this is an ongoing thing. So anytime anyone gets one i need to see a screenshot and i can block the URL that ad is coming from! This is why its not happening to everyone and not happening all the time. Oh google....

Also google is known to show these ads which is how we fund VC so i hope its not them. They are not supposed to show these ads of course but yea. Hmmm..

I have an iPhone 6 and cant seem to replicate this. I am still digging though. Our software is pretty much up to date which is great, but why!! haha.

We are working on fixing this! Sorry and thanks for your cooperation!!

I just want to let everyone know that I am working on trying to fix this! Its not super simple since its happening to some people and not others. I will update everyone when its resolved. Thank you for your cooperation!!

Hey Folks! We are giving away some free wings from Wingstop to two lucky people tonight - one on the US East Coast, one on the US West coast! Wingstop has been kind enough to run some ads this month and we are forever grateful to everyone who helps offset the costs of VC! So as we are stuck inside tonight due to the snow, we thought why not give away some wings!! For a chance to get free wings tonight hit us up on TWITTER: https://twitter.com/vinylcollective

Can you remember the error message? This could be a bug. If you see this again please take a screenshot and post it here or PM ME! Thanks

We got the same masters.
