Forums - Website Topics - Weird white box with X in it shows up on every page in Safari

Is anyone else seeing this blank white box appear every page that you go to on vgchartz?  It just started happening and it does it on both of my Macs.  I am running Safari with adblock and pop up blocker.  Does anyone know why this keeps happening?

Thanks

I'm using Safari and I don't see it.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

It is weird, I do not see it at work on Safari, but I do at home. There is nothing different in the two set ups.

Well, I can tell you straight off the bat - admitting to using an adblocker is not a very wise thing to do around here. I suggest you rethink your strategy...

Why isn't it a wise thing?  There's nothing in the forum rules about it.

Because ioi pours hours and hours of hard work and money into this site. If he sees you saying that you block his income to pay for this site, then he will probably ban you. It may not be a rule, but it is a courtesy to help out a site you enjoy.

A courtesy would be having it in the forum rules so it's official. A courtesy would be banning people WITHIN the scope of the rules. I understand he puts a lot of work into the site, but people need to understand people want a good browsing experience and if that means they install applications to reach that experience, then they shouldn't be punished for it.

That's like a person who boycotts a store in a mall getting banned from the mall because the mall gets money from the store. :b Horrible logic.



The way website ads usually work, Ioi gets money just for having people load the pages with the ads. It doesn't matter if their browser is set to block displaying the ads. The ads just keep track of pageviews, of individual hits, and those aren't blocked by Adblock.

Ioi probably also gets paid BETTER if people actually CLICK the links, but that's not usually necessary TO get paid.

Are you using the computer at school/work? If so, the ad content is blocked, its a sort of popup ad that circumvents typical popup blockers. Its an advertisement for Viva Pinata. I can see it from home fine, but at work, its a blank page with an X.



I'm not having any problems with safari...... yet at least.
