Homepage display problem only if user not logged in


Recommended Posts

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!

 

BR,

 

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)

Logged out, but using a VPN to New York City (where the ad is shown).

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.

    • VirtualBox 7.1.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • I think the reason is, it is cross platform.
    • Sure, Linux is a great alternative for productivity purposes and actual work. But the only way I'd consider Linux is after an extensive review of top Windows games support. Neowin is definitely working on such an article, right? ::wink wink::
    • I think AI wouldn't have so many run-on sentences.
    • Yes, doing it only Microsoft's way which 90% of users seem to hate is a much better way to go. The comment you replied to didn't even mention user friendly.
