ginnyfizz Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I just selected a file to download and clicked the UK Premium server. When I got the "Your file is being prepared for download" window popping up, it had adverts flashing away within it. I am a premium member and I was logged in. I didn't think you got adverts if you were a premium member, did something change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark0ne Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 On what site? Can't replicate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyfizz Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 It was on TESNexus. The file I requested was dustinflan's latest Head06 textures, and what appeared was an embedded advert for some browser game, Evony I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziitch Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) I may have just got the same thing, and didn't even have to select a server first - Here's the source link, it's a Flash file with javascript code designed to make it run before any other code is executed: http://cdn.playwire.com/bolt.swf#!flashvars#vastSrc=http://ads.intergi.com/adrawdata/3.0/5205/1856736/0/2898/ADTECH;referring_url=__WEB_URL__;number=__RANDOM__;time=__TIME__&autoPlay=true&controlBarMode=none Edited February 3, 2011 by ziitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordbelfast Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 LOL! Now we gotta watch some f***ing ads before being able to choose a server. Now this is pathetic. When do we start paying for files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Ginny, is this still an issue for you or was it a one-off? I haven't changed the code at all and cannot replicate it. Is it possible that you were logged off and downloaded a small file or something? When do we start paying for files? When do you start paying for my bandwidth you take freely?

Marthos Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 LOL! Now we gotta watch some f***ing ads before being able to choose a server. Now this is pathetic. When do we start paying for files? I do contribute towards the running costs of this site and I wouldn't dream of making a statement like that. No ads means too little revenue which means no Nexus. The Nexus sites are great but they have to earn their keep, when there is a problem with an ad (or anything else) Robin is on it as soon as he finds out about it.

gyshall Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I just tried downloading a file on New Vegas Nexus - Underground hideout (http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37884) and I had to watch a 37 second video of Call of Duty. Not sure if this is intended or what. I hope it's not intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quetzlsacatanango Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 So is the commercial by design, then? It doesn't work very well on firefox. You let the movie play but the download dialog never appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
