A while ago, you supposedly added a red banner at the top of the screen saying that you've detected that the user is using AdBlock and asking the user to whitelist your site.  Fair enough.  I'm sympathetic to your need for ad revenue, and don't block most ads for that reason.

So why are you now showing the banner to people who aren't using AdBlock?  I don't think white-listing you through AdBlock will do anything when I'm not using AdBlock in the first place.  I'm guessing it's a glitch, but if so, then you ought to be informed about it.

If I scroll down, there's another banner ad toward the bottom of the page, but that would scroll the red banner off of the screen.

Looking into this for you!

The red banner disappeared until today, then came back just now.  It's showing me black boxes where there would normally be ads, and I got some error messages when trying to check mail, so it's probably just server problems.  It was showing ads as normal earlier today and I didn't change anything.

My guess is that the red banner is triggered if a glitch prevents some particular ad from displaying properly.  I don't have AdBlock, or any other add-on to block ads.  I do block a handful of sites used for the double-underline text pop-up ads that make it a major nuisance to read text.  Opera has a built-in way to block pop-ups that aren't triggered directly by clicking a link, and I do use that, but I don't think that's relevant here.

Now it's not showing me ads at all, apart from the large wraparound.

It's been like that since yesterday.  The red bar hasn't returned, though.  I didn't change anything, and still have no AdBlock.  The only things that I block are some pop-ups and the URLs for some double-underline text pop-ups that basically constitute malware.

Not seeing ads doesn't bother me, but if you're not getting revenue even from people who don't block ads, that might bother you.
