from WinCustomize Forums

Hi, There is an advertisement preventing https://www.wincustomize.com/ from loading. The ad itself won't load but it puts a black box in the center of the screen and grays the rest of the page. It happened last night or maybe this morning and just now. I wasn't logged into wincustomize either time and I cleaned all of my caches earlier today. I got past it by pressing F5, but most people probably don't know they can press F5 and new visitors might think WC is just a bad web page.

It's mostly some type of browser issue.  Adblock is not friendly with WC, and again, I remind people that ads are one of the main ways WC supports itself.
Blocking them only takes away income from the site.

Yeah true but SD should normaly be so gentle to carry the weight since all the skins are found on Wincustomize and the skinners posting them are actually keeping the apps alive... ( No skinners / no skins - no skins / mucho less customers - less customers / sad face SD ) so it should be a priority to keep the site as clean as possible even for guests...  even if there is other sites to get the skins ... no commercials ....but thats only how i see it...WC represents Stardock + it has many other goodys to offer...it is very< well moderated.... while i do enjoy clicking on random crap links now and then honestly >! no sarcasm - i found some real treasuresd that way, but in the end these ads are just annoying even if they are for a good deed
:erk:

Stardock DOES 'carry the weight'.  The Ads are necessary to at least lighten the load 'a little'...;)
