Ads in avatars?

[Perfect Balance]

I was browsing GTP and I ran across this:

Baan Mars! I always knew he was up to no good!

 

[Diego440]

I always knew that science job couldn't have been too profitable

tsk tsk

That doesn't really look legit.

he changed his avatar so its cool.

but you can't have more than one avatar

 

[Perfect Balance]

I don't really think it was his avatar, something could have just went wrong, but I don't know if it's an error in GTP, or if firefox just went screwy.

It must be your browser, I just looked at one of his posts, no ads.

 

[Thiele]

i was looking at one of his posts last night

What does that have to do with Perfect Balance's problem?


[Nothing, right?] I was nice enough to answer that for you.

You weren't logged in.

AFAIK this is normal. Once you log in, you will see his avatar instead of the ads.

You were browsing the site while not logged in to your account - that's what unregistered guests see. Log in, and you'll see everyone's avatars and other information.

so does this mean Mars isn't getting banned?

damn... my plan is foiled! I'll have to find out new ways to take over the planet!

She reminds me of Salma Hayek. 👍

No no no.... you got it all wrong. This was just a test of a new feature, GTP SUPER Premium, where you can have a HUGE avatar, and it can be whatever you like...


.....not!

Anyway, mystery solved (as per Jordan's explanation 👍 )

*clicks banner, emails brwneyedgirl to ask her round for tea*
