I saw this on WHT today, and I actually tried to click on it, heh.

Turns out the server is too busy to send so many banners to WHT ;)

But look how it looks on WHT, maybe it should become an idea to a banner ad on WHT.

Is anyone noticing the banners here saying "Server error in "/" application". I have been browsing wht and just keep seeing that error where banners should be, not all the advertisement is messed up, I see some that are working like the EV1 advertisement but some aren't.

Actually, I see something quite different...

Oh yeah - I haven't actually seen an advertisement on any Website for about eight months now :D

Proxomitron. The best localhost proxy program on earth. It's free - nothing to brag about really. Here's a link - http://www.proxomitron.info/files/index.shtml

It's no longer being developed, but there isn't really much else to develop. I'm sure if the Internet changes radically in the future, someone will pick the project up again.

Enjoy :)

In firefox you just right click the ad and select 'Block images from ads.inetinteractive.com

Never knew that about FireFox - but I do like the fact that Proxomitron simply blocks all ads - and it's pretty darned good about what it blocks - though I've seen it take out Amazon preview images from time to time. But the one-button bypass simplifies things to the point that it's become one of my favorite browsing tools. Plus, it lets you selectively defeat JavaScripts! So you can keep JS enabled, but still stop all the annoying crap that developers try to push on people. (I hate that f-ing clock)

And I thought "Server error in "/" application" was a ad for a new host! :D

I just tried that proggy out, mainly for the selective JS defeater, especially on pages that have the no-right click script on them and it gets along with the screen reader. I don't have it set to block the banners though.

Big red letters on both ads:

"Server Error in '/' Application."

As an advertiser on WHT this month, I'm not very pleased about what has been happening here.

Oh and all the directories on WHT are dead as well for advertisers......
