I think someone must have fell asleep at the controls and hit the button labelled "ads for everyone". would someone please wake them up and reset the switch. thank you
Hi Seth, I heard that that was pretty good (adblock) but I prefer IE7 which adblock doesn't appear to support. And as a subscriber I shouldn't be getting them anyhow. I figure it has to do with changes in the pages and just thought I'd mention them to the mods to let them know the situation. I think Iwill check the beta site and see if ads pop up there also. thanks
EDIT: NOPE, same over there (or here, whatever). maybe someone up the ladder will let us know what's up? (hint-hint)
I don't remember if ie7 has this but...but try looking in tools and seeing if you can block scripting in ie7...might disable the ads.
I understand what you're saying, though. Try going into the SD irc and asking about it there...might be faster. 
Don't know if it is actually free, but it has a free download link (second link). The first link is a review/explanation.
thanks, I looked at the links and downloaded the program, I'll run it later to check it out. it appears that it might stop the flash ads also which means I could enable "flash" for watching video content, I like that.
Yes IE7 Pro is free i don't use it's ad block however the flash block works brilliant,the software works in IE8 also tho the last time i tried it with it there were a few bugs that needed working on,but for IE7 alls good
Every now and then the backroom boffins have to clean out the cages for the squirrels that power the servers.
That usually borks the User login process [and thus the stored cookies]. A cookie-clean and/or reboot and relogin usually solves that....;)
I may have found the culprit:

Well....there IS that....;)
gosh, where does the time go, well now that I have the adchecker type program guess I don't need a subscription anymore, just kidding. 
AdBlock Plus doesn't come with subscriber resources....
good answer Shirley...Ive acquired many good things thru sbuscriber resources.
And if it makes u feel any better, I started the same kind of thread when my sub ran out...lol
I wish that they would warn us when our subs are about to go. I have renewed but am still being identified as a non-subscriber and without benefits. I hate being charged for time that I am not able to use (they hold you to the minute, ya know)
I have cleaned the cookies from my browser and logged back in but it's not registering. I have initiated a ticket and Mike indicates that everything seems okay on their end. unfortunatly now I have only 363 days, 4 hours, 16 minutes and 33 seconds left on my account that I am unable to use.
Thanks for this post, I was wondering why I was starting to get all these ads! Never realized my subscription was up!
I thought e-mails were sent. I'll check into this.
Hardly. Plead your case to support, we usually don't have any problem tacking a few days on for you.
What's still going on? Trying from here it looks like everything should be working for you.
I do now have subscriber abilities, not sure what really happened but here are the steps that I took.
I checked to see if the problem had been corrected, it hadn't. - closed out the browser, cleared all cookies (again) - opened up the browser, logged in and did not see any changes - thought I would look to see how I was listed and check my registrations (all was okay) - made a couple of changes in my profile, saved the changes and "boom" my privileges were restored
okay maybe not the minute, more like the second, my sub expires 2/21/2011 7:56:06 AM (but I did receive a couple of days to make up for lost time for which I am grateful, thank you)
as far as I know, it's only accurate to the day.
guess if you didn't get it, it was a poor attempt of humor on my part (yuk, yuk)
