In summary, the conversation discusses the issue of ads appearing on the website and how they are only supposed to be visible to those who have not made a contribution or are not logged in. Some users are experiencing issues with the ads appearing even though they are logged in, while others suggest using an ad blocker to avoid seeing them. It is also mentioned that the website's income may be affected if the ads are not visible to all users.

Instead of the usual ads, I get

Not Found

The requested URL /pagead/ads was not found on this server.

I tried firefox and IE, but it is the same error.

Not that I personally care about having ads, but I don't want to see PF lose it's income :smile:

I had a similar problem until I realized it was just a senior moment. If you browse without logging in you get the Ads...
