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:

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.

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.

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.

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

Wow, talk about being a troll today...

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

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.

    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By WaltC · Posted

      I've owned nothing but ATi/AMD GPUs since 2002, after my last nVidia GPU in 2001 (3dfx before that), IIRC, and in all of that time I recall getting this error maybe once, certainly no more than twice. Despite all the scuttlebutt as to how poor AMD drivers are supposed to be that has certainly not been my experience at all... Usually it has been a configuration problem of some kind. Then again, since we're dealing with OS versions that are EOL, it could easily be an OS version discrepancy. It's still weird to think that Win11 has been officially out for more than five years!
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By WaltC · Posted

      AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.

    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
