All,

Just a heads up. We're running a Lord of the Rings Two Towers ad campaing.

There are Flash banners on the site as well as a rich media placement on the front page which you should only get 1x per 24 hours.

Please post any technical issues you may have with the ads. When posting a technical issue, please list the version of your OS, your browser and browser version as well as where you got the error.

Thanks
Geoff

Those banners keep bringing up a box making me acknowledge that my security settings don't allow ActiveX controls to run. Duh.

So I have to hit the OK button or my spacebar about every other page.

RoQuEr

I got it in video game talk. Is the rest of the forums saved again?

It may be set to show up a little too high on the srceen. when it poped up, it was cut in half by the banner on the top of the screen. I'll tell you if it does that every time, or just that once.

Ranger

Well. the ad is kind of pretty. Still am waiting for the EE. Forum seems to be a bit slower though.

Aside from the fact that it loads very slowly, it disabled the forum jump on the front page until I closed it.

Venusian

how many of those who claimed they would never support a movie with ads like these last time are gonna buy this movie?

GeoffK

Honestly, this one isn't nearly as bad as many that have run in the past.

It has no sound, little animation and is easy to close. Also impression capping is a 1x per 24 hours. So it's far less intrusive than any of the previous ones.

I'm no fan of intrusive ads, but this one really isn't that big of a deal.

Scott27

Same here. Win 98, IE 6.0

NCMojo

Ditto. And yeah, I'm still buying LOTR Das Boot.

Just got it again on the front page for my 2nd straight visit, again disabling the forum jump. I'm logged in, and have cookies on.

On a related note, I'm also getting the subscribe to DVDTalk newsletters pop-up, which I never get (I'm already subscribed to just about all of them).

PhYbEr

Same problem here.. running XP and IE 6.0

AndyCapps

I'm not. Won't buy it, won't rent it, didn't see it in the theater. Who wants to touch me?

Bandoman

If this ad is as obnoxious and intrusive as the FearDotCom and Final Destination 2 ads, I won't buy it, even though I love the movie. And this time I'll write to the studio and tell them why. I'll have to wait to see the ad before I decide.

NCMojo

My problem is not the ad itself -- relatively benign -- it is that every 2nd or 3rd time I go to www.dvd.talk, it does not load up the forum jump, or it will freeze up everything. I can hit F5 and refresh and usually I'm OK... but I'm on fast internet. God help those poor souls out there is dialup land.

Groucho

What a great ad to run in this forum. Nobody is aware that this DVD is coming out.

Adam Tyner

Most people are pretty keenly aware that Coke and Pepsi, which have both existed for over a century, are still on store shelves, yet both of those companies continue to advertise.

Numanoid

Coke?

Gil Jawetz

You know...

s}{ammer

running Windows XP, IE6 and opera and I get the ad everytime I open the video game forum.

PixyJunket

This "thing" goes off in every page or topic of the video game forum.

Groucho

I know you were excited about the new Mario Kart game, but man...keep it to yourself!

Moving to Mature

Venusian

why does the lens flare follow my mouse around on the banner?

seems like a waste of bandwidth/resources

Kiljin

Just got it twice in 5 minutes in the Video Game forum.
Win 2k
I.E 6.0 SP1

Going through a proxy server

Trevor

Same here....I think I've seen the ad at least 100 times in the last few days.

Bandoman

I haven't seen it once yet.

That means I can still buy it! Yay!
