Ads After Purchasing Post Master General

Postby Aredita » Wed Nov 18, 2020 12:48 pm

I purchased the Post Master General Package in the NationStates store, and I still see ads.

However, I only see ads when I'm in the forums. I don't know if this is just how it is, and this is normal, or, if something is wrong.

Thanks for your help!

This certainly isn't normal. Check your settings. Do you have "Site Supporter: No advertisements" checked?
If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. | Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’
James 1:26-27, Matthew 7:21-23

I'm actually having the exact same problem! It's especially annoying when one of those ads with sound pop up

The quickest fix is usually to turn the "no ads" toggle off in your nation's Settings, click Update, then turn it back on.

This error can occur if the connection between gameside and forumside gets interrupted, preventing the setting from being communicated to the forum. If you retry, it should go through.

Great! That worked!

I just toggled it off, and then on, and now, I don't see ads! Thank you!
