Re: New Site Design Launched!

The formatting of the banners when uploading into our ad management system went wrong. We are trying to fix this issue at the moment.

Is this even possible out of curiosity? These are .swf files... we currently do not support the recent fancy formats.

My understanding is that it is now possible for ad banners to add tracking cookies to a users computer by simply being viewed, i.e. no click through is necessary. But I am not a programmer, and that information is based on what I have "heard," so unless it is verified by someone or some source that is more technologically knowledgable than I, I'd take it with the proverbial grain of salt. I was simply conjecturing as to why it was only when those particular ads were displayed that my computer cpu spiked so high.

Hi thalestrader, we fixed the formatting of the ads and seems to have fixed the issues you had brought up. I am hoping that the changes will also reflect on your end. Please do let me know if you still experience spikes in CPU. Thank you and I apologize for the inconvenience.

Regards,

James

Hi Moyyim, I appreciate the notices as I did not even notice this myself. We have managed to change this up. Thanks again.
