Hasn't Tom already responded to you? Why do you keep repeating yourself in this thread? The developers and the mods have confirmed that they will look at correcting this. Relax.

[Lovell]

Those who block the ads don't see the smilie. The people that see it, are they ones that don't block ads.And seeing it, because the ads are too slow to load.

We do see the smiley, unless we choose to block it.

Tom, with all due respect, don't you think most people already know this (especially those who chose to block the ads in the first place)?

No, I as well as a few others in this thread are here to check if Neowin receives money for people clicking the links or if they get money per view? if it's per view and you get money by me white listing Neowin I have no problem doing it otherwise no point I've never been interested or bought anything from ads. It'd probably help more if you removed flash ads as well.

I'm amazed at some of the **** in this thread acting like 10 yr olds who feel like they have to punish Neowin because of a smiley face. It was nothing more than a plee for a few people to white list Neowin which worked for a few people which is pretty much what they wanted. People come in here asking why they see the sad face when they don't block ads and if Neowin is going to fix it, so a dev responds he's currently working on it and have a bit of patience then he receives abuse when he responds that he's trying to fix a problem people are complaining about? :no:

There's a new message there now. It's much tamer.

I dont really care, i will repeat myself until its fixed. There is no need for it to be there, Neowin has been up for for nearly a decade without the need to try and shame people who are blocking ads there is no reason to start now, or alternatively if its not a quick fix remove the image until its ready.

What does the message say now?

[DomZ]

"Don't like ads, there's a subscription for that" - something along those lines.

At least the smiley doesn't catch your attention in between each page load now.

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

you have already downloaded it by then, by that time its to late, you have already used your limited bandwith

i used an adblocker before i was a T2 subscriber, but subscribed the day T2 came out. i have been with neowin for years, bad times ( i have PM'd mods asking them to delete my account cause i was so miffed ), and good times ( thread i accidentially hijacked became verry verry popular, cause i had a VERRY early retail copy of Doom 3 and was posting screens, of various levels using a level skip code, pm's from mod's and all kinds of people for info regarding it )

literally a subscription at any teir is worth it, didnt before cause i didnt have the funds, now i do. ( i still dont agree with the OSX86 rule change on neowin :( )

And I call those notices junk/spam email that goes straight in the bin.

Removed the smiley and added a message valuable to non-adblockers anyway.

[Denis W. Veteran]

What does the message say now?

On fast connections you might see it for a split second. Slower connections, it might be visible for a second or two. It reads:

"Don't like ads? There's a subscription for that. Click on the Subscriptions tab for more details."

and I'm too slow. :p

[MikeChipshop Member]

Something like "Don't like the ads? There's a package for that" and then a link to subscriptions tab. I can't be more precise than that cos i have the ads on :p

I like that, it's clever and informative :)

Please post a screenshot of your browser, maybe the developers will be able to help you out.

Wow, talk about being a troll today...

Its been tweaked, I think what we have now is better than before.

I like it. Polite and to the point.

I haven't read the entire thread, but are you seeing it for the split second an ad loads, or is it there the entire time?

i was only joking hence the :p

i love the new neowin

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

so how did the headers get on your screen ?

not only that but how much bandwith have you used refreshing neowin for this thread ?

Not if I use IMAP instead of POP :p

I thought calling other members a troll was against the rules? way to set an example (Y)

The new message, however, is better than the old one.

[Joel]

Magic, doesn't count towards the bandwidth that way.

[Richard Hammond]

I haven't read the entire thread, but are you seeing it for the split second an ad loads, or is it there the entire time?

Its there for 3-5 seconds before the ad loads.
