I've received several messages and have seen several comments about the drop down ad on our site. It seems the ad drops down the page when refreshing the page or going to another section.
Is anyone still having this issue?
This ad is meant to only drop down once in a 24-hour period, but many (including me) have seen it drop down more than that.
Not sure of the exact cause, but what I did was clear out the cookies in my web browser, and from then on the ad just rolled down once. I'm using Firefox (didn't have the issue with the ad in Internet Explorer).
If you don't want to get rid of all your cookies (some people are particular about their cookies, I myself prefer Oreos. Oops, wrong kind of cookie!), the specific cookie to remove is found in the victoriaadvocate.com domain and is called “BillboardSeen."
To remove that cookie, in Firefox you go to:
Tools
Options
Privacy
Cookies, click on Show Cookies
Scroll down to find victoriaadvocate.com
Click on the cookie named "BillboardSeen"
Click on Remove Cookie
Click on Close
If you still see that ad rolling down more than once a day, you may have a toolbar installed that is blocking the cookies (Yahoo or Google). If you are still having problems, send me a message at cjcastillo@vicad.com or give me a call at 580-6516. I'll be happy to help you out.

CJ: PUKE was in the title of my just posted blog b4 reading this. Mine was goin' down and up like a wacko garage door. Thought about parking my truck under it.
August 1, 2009 at 2:43 a.m.My page is now moving up & down...this is the 1st time this has ever happened to me.
August 1, 2009 at 12:37 a.m.I use IE and it is a pain. We have Ad-Aware pro on our computer, which deletes cookies everytime you leave a site for a certain amount of time, so I am getting that ad everytime I come here. Very irritating!!
July 31, 2009 at 11:05 a.m.Is there a way to block it without blocking this site?
Rukiddingme - So glad you didn't have to toss those cookies, now you can have a nice snack with a glass of milk. I noticed that ad didn't drop down again today, so I think the issue may be resolved.
catahula - Brain waves, eh? You'll have to teach me your technique, maybe it will work on all this spam I get in my inbox.
July 31, 2009 at 9:55 a.m.Thanks. I shot it with brain waves. But I noticed that instead of it saying close it, it now says open it. Good choice.
