HTML delivered banners gone intermittent

Post by DoctorWeb »

On some websites i have adverts, which are served up by companies such as Amazon. These have always worked fine until the last few weeks when I've noticed that some simply go blank. The material from the supplier is not appearing -
Worse - i get a blank space.

They all have slightly different format, but all are supposed to fit into the box produced when I use the HTML object.
Here is a typical one, that IO just refreshed with new instructions from Amazon Business.
It just doesn't appear - either as preview, or onto my web sites.
yet on the same web page, others do appear OK.

Is there a recent change that could be stopping these working?

Apologies for the holes in my HTML knowledge that probably mean Im not using the correct terminology.

TYPE - Use ,div> to set position and size of the HTML.
OVERFLOW. Default
HTML - added all the code (copy & Pated it)

and used the correct sizes too.

The HTML code will be inserted "AS IS".
This has functionality has not changed recently

But maybe your website is not secure (https)?

Did you check for errors in the browser debug console?

all my web sites have been https for over a year now,

I didn't check the browser debit as I m not sure what it is and have never used it .
What is now really weird is that some html files are appearing OK at some (responsive) sizes, and not on others, where I see just a black space.

I also had some that show just blank space, but if I click a few times on the space (in a browser) they link thru to the advert.

(I am tempted to rebuild the pages, one by one and see what item is causing this.)

To be able to help, I need to see what you have done.
What is the URL and where exactly on the page did you add the code?

I found the problem - something called ADB - an ad blocker. As soon as I switched it off, the HTML ads all appeared.
The ADB was supposedly 'improved' a few weeks ago. Well, all it did was block my own ads in web pages I had assembled, and as 'bonus' began feeding me unwanted extra ads in Safari.

I wont trouble you further on this Pablo - am just pleased to get it resolved.
Thanks anyway.
