Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted February 5Feb 5 Unless I'm mistaken, there is no option to disable this. As with the 4x launch, Ajax page loading blocks adverts from appearing beyond the first page of any topic which is a huge revenue killer.I've searched Ajax in the admin panel but nothing is showing up.
February 5Feb 5 I was literally just to PM you about this, your adverts still seem to load when changing pages though
February 5Feb 5 Author Interesting, I can only get them to load on the initial page I land on, then switching through pages of either the topic listings or posts, they don't show.
February 5Feb 5 They do seem to load on each page load, feels like they take longer than normal to show up though Edited February 5Feb 5 by marklcfc

February 5Feb 5 I think there is an issue , sometimes only 1 advert will show whereas on the first load of a topic they'll be 3-4. I never used the ajax loading as it interferes with ads and not sure this new way is fully working either, another feature been removed without the consequence considered Edited February 5Feb 5 by marklcfc
February 5Feb 5 Looking at @Day_ 's community, I am seeing that the advertisements load in place where they should on each. Keep in mind that we essentially just output the HTML/JavaScript on page (which is done). It is up to your advertisement providers for the speed at which they load, if they load on a given page, etc... The way AJAX page loads work now are different than version 4 and effectively, the whole viewable content reloads so this will include your advertisements.
February 5Feb 5 Author I'm not seeing them nor are several members.I'm not sure if related, butdomain/ads.txt no longer loads, but domain/ads.txt/ does.I was using a page redirect back to the ad provider for them to manage it. It would seem like now you are unable to create a page without using a wrapper?I set the ads.txt file to use CustomWrapper, entered by redirect code which I was given on here to use. If I go back to the ads.txt in pages now, it's removed CustomWrapper and shows as none. As you know, one or the other is required so it would be impossible to create without the steps I did.

February 5Feb 5 Author I'm back, apology maybe in order.Ads.txt is still an issue for us that needs resolving. However our ad provider believes the loading issue is due to auto height on the CSS at their end which they are removing now. I had flashbacks to 4x when that was first released and Ajax caused major issues with the loading.So I offer you my full apology and beg for forgiveness!

Always with external providers that embed like this, it's worth looking for it outputting on the page, are there any errors, etc... and checking with your provider then us. Just want to make sure everything is inline on their end because we can't change that if it's not lol. Regardless, we'll point you in a direction if we can like we did here.

You will want to insert your ads.txt now in: Admin CP > System > Advertisements > Advertisement Settings > Set custom ads.txt
February 5Feb 5 Another follow up to my follow up. It appears, you can also disable AJAX pagination in Advertisement Settings as well. Even we're still working out some things which have been moved around 🤣

February 5Feb 5 Just now, Day_ said:Feel free to banish this topic of misinformation out of here lolNo worries. Think it is good information for anyone who is thinking the same. We actually have the features, just shuffled the deck a bit to make them a little more related to what they correspond to.

We're out here educating staff and clients at the same time! 😂As this is feedback. May I make a suggestion.Would it be possible to allow us to insert a redirect into the ads.txt box option.I have manually entered the ads.txt content, however ideally I would like the ad provider which is Raptive to control that as they have previously.This would be beneficial to all Raptive clients that are on the Cloud. Pretty please.
