Forum:Annoying AD

There is this annoying sluppee ad that is a bright blue and takes up the entire backgound of a wichever wiki it is on. I'm not trying to start a hate war, and I understand why there are ads, but this ad is distracting and annoying. Please remove it. Adding a staff needed to this post.

 * Please post a link to where this ad is occurring and/or upload an image. Your description alone is not sufficient to identify exactly which ad you're talking about.



theres a pic, but it does not happen on that wiki only, it happenes on a lot of wikia's wikis. Random yoshi 777 random as of 05/24/2012!!! 01:51, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * This is a very rare ad type Wikia utilizes called a "skin takeover". This is expected behaviour. Only anonymous users will see this ad, once you log in you see the normal skin as expected. --daNASCAT 04:53, May 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * It better be rare daNASCAT! If I create a background for my wiki, I expect it to stay there for anons as well as users. So six ads isn't enough? :| STARFLEET  ACADEMY  05:11, May 24, 2012 (UTC)

This is no longer "rare". It used to be uncommon, but recently I've tested it and on about 90% of page loads when not logged in the background is replaced by an advert. It essentially means whatever background you choose is pointless for non-logged in users. Is that expected behaviour daNASCAT? -- Category:Acer4666 10:16, May 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * I've had the same experience as Acer466. On large wikis these ads are the norm. --Gardimuer { ʈalk } 16:20, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
