I just want to check I'm not going bananas here... Can those who have neopets premium and do not have adblockers running check the Neopets Stuff page and see if they get a flash ad appearing in the middle of the screen? It's for a UK program so it might only be there if you are from the UK too...

I did a clean sweep of my laptop and tried again, each time I go to that page I'm getting this ad :/ I changed some of the stuff I was blocking in my userContent.css file for firefox to allow it to load the advent calendar flash animation (it has /ad in the url) and it seems that my blocking ads has been stopping me from seeing this ad rather than the fact I am on premium.

I've reported it of course but I find it extremely disappointing that now even premium doesn't seem to be exempt from having adverts slipping through the net :S

I didn't see an ad, but I'm in the US. I hope it's just a fluke...

I'm glad it wasn't just me. Here's the screenshot of my ad:

Very weird and annoying. o_O

Well, there are still ads on the shop of offers page:
http://www.neopets.com/shop_of_offers.p ... payout=yes

But that's an advertising page only. The screenie Starry Angel posted looks like a mistake...I hope it is. Though someone was posting on the premium board yesterday that they WANTED the adbar back at the top *faints*

That guy is thw lame childrens presenter that hosts the GMTV Kids slot at the weekends. He's really not very good at it. Although better than certain CBBC channel presenters.

Unlike the rest of the US and remember seeing the Stuff page ad many times. It ain't there now, but I know it was.

Soon there will be different levels of premium. For every level you get you see a certain amount of ads. The higher you pay, the less adds you see.
Ooo... scary thought.
Hopefully thats not whats really going to happen. Me thinks any premium members who see it should complain. Isn't that the main reason to get premium? To be add free?

That is a scary thought indeed O_O Premium is expensive enough as it is, the only reason it is a reasonable price for me is due to a favourable exchange rate.

I reported it earlier today when I made this thread, it's still there at the moment :S I'd recommend that anyone else who sees it report it too in the hope that it gets taken down before the weekend.

I'm in the UK. I have the ad :x

Maybe it's just UK users. I don't like it :( Glad it's only on that page, which I very rarely use lol
