The Answerbank Ad Issues: Fixed :)

[AB Editor]

Well, nearly anyway.

Ad you can see we're currently providing you with an Ad-free site. This is because of a minor security problem in our ad serving platform which saw many of you being told that the site was unsafe by your anti-virus software and Google.

We've pulled the ads and you should no longer be seeing these warnings.

We should be moving to a new Ad Platform later on today (sorry for all those who enjoy the white space!) - we expect the switch to go smoothly, but there may be some hiccups. Please report any issues you spot here.

Thanks to everyone for bearing with us!

All the best,

Ed

I like the white space. It's much faster.......

Baza: "I like the white space. It's much faster..."

Yep, and we'd have to close the site if we kept it :)

But surely the AB team are all so dedicated that they'd happily work for free, aren't they, Ed?

mmmmmmmm, the white space seems oddly calming and friendly :)

It's mainly blackmail at the moment to be honest, so that wouldn't change much!

Just had a warning when I logged on 5 mins ago, so not resolved methinks?

I am no longer getting any problems.( Windows Vista; Firefox Browser) So everything is a complete mystery to me. However, being curious about the message which has been received by JMR27, I Googled and have been given the following:-

I never notice/pay attention to the ads and took a while to realise they had gone, and a while to notice they were back!
