To admin - TransferWise advertising

matsaleh

I have noticed that TransferWise has a banner which posts on the last comment of every thread I open. Is this paid advertising or have they infiltrated the forum on the sly?

I can't see anything - you sure you aren't getting paranoid?

On my screen...on your post #2...right beside your content is a big blue/white banner.... it says "There's a new way to send money abroad. No unfair rates. No hidden fees. TransferWise....get started >." I don't need it so haven't clicked. edit: I just left the forum and returned and now the banner is on my post #3

This is what I'm seeing on every final comment, but about 4 times the size. [ATTACH]2536.vB[/ATTACH]

I have all kinds of add-killer and banner-killing software running so maybe its happening or maybe Davita is just fecking with you?

I sure hope not, Ron. It's most annoying!

Just something we have been testing. I have disabled the ads for regular members.

Yes, I see it on the final post in this thread. The relevant bit of page source is included below. Looks really planned - maybe it is paid advertising. [quote]

When did you realize that you were a GOD? Well, one day I was praying and I found I was talking to myself...

Aha Matsaleh, maybe we were irregular for some moments. :-)
