cursor problem, ad related

[Orbital-Fetus]

ok, so i turned off my adblocker.
ads show but my cursor blinks when i move it and disappears when i'm not moving it.

did some research and turning of flash/shockwave returns my cursor to normal but the ads don't show and after i go to a new page the ads show again and the mouse problem starts again.

it may be related to the fact that some of the ads have the cursor integrated into the ad...like you get a custom cursor within the ad once you hover over it.

this link explains it rather well:

weird, did you try the tips recommend in that article? how about updating your browser and flash addons?

you can always turn your adblock back on, you'd have to put up with the message we put up but its probably better than an annoying mouse

I noticed a blinking cursor (mouse pointer) coming from 1 specific ad: one where it says 'pick your favorite team England, Spain, Italy'.




this is in firefox, btw

From my vantage point, it was the only one. No other cursor ad produced that problem.

just noticed it myself for the first time. we already created a ticket to get that ad removed

let us know which ads cause this and we'll get them taken out of the rotation...sorry for the inconvenience

in the meantime, you can refresh the page and it should load a different ad

For us to be able to block that ad from our database, we need you to send us its click per URL. In order to extract the click URL of a banner, you have to click on it and then copy the first URL that appears.

So just click it, copy & paste it here. Thanks.

Page is loading, please wait!

Thanks. They said:

What we need is the click URL. It begins this way: http://ad.smowtion.com/clk?2,13;02042916324e12d1;12e5e5812a6,0;%. Please send us the URL where you are seeing this ad and from which country.

So when the cursor problem starts, go to the ad and right click & click copy link address.
