LucasFrance Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 There is a problem on the Neowin homepage if the user is not logged in. In this case 2 empty places appear in the main topic pictures section. If the user is logged in, there is no problem. If I remember well, the very same issue occurded in the past (about 2 years ago ?) and I reported it in the same way and it was fixed immediatly. Keep on the great job!

Steven P. Administrators Posted August 7, 2016 Administrators Share Posted August 7, 2016 I'm aware of it and a fix should be there shortly LucasFrance 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucasFrance Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 FYI the point as been only partialy fixed... There is now 1 empty space instead of 2 in the front page if user is not logged in :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted August 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted August 9, 2016 CTRL + F5 the fix has been implemented on the advertisers end (long story but it has to do with the styling) an adblocker will block the javascript that fixes it! The other workaround is to be logged in while viewing Neowin. Logged out view (from The Netherlands, I don't get the ad, an article is there in the 4th spot) Clearer view Logged out, but using a VPN to New York City (where the ad is shown).

LucasFrance Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 See what I get here (Switzerland) if not logged in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted August 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted August 9, 2016 Like I said, this will happen if you are blocking ads, I can see that you are because there is no ad above the Community Activity in the sidebar. The advertiser had to implement a fix for when an ad doesn't load due to the styling of the news articles. no ad leaves the 'article class' styling there, empty, a bit of javascript removes the blank if no ad is shown.

LucasFrance Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 Confirmed. If I stop ABP the problem goes away. Thanks ! Steven P. 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted August 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted August 9, 2016 It's not the best fix in the world, but I am happy an advertiser will even do a javascript 'fix' for when no ad is displayed. Thanks for your patience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
