Issue fixed on pending regular bids
Please check your account's bid listing to see if you have bids to be approved, chances are you missed some because of this issue.
The issue affected non-campaign bid approvals from April 24th to May 4th.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Introducing the new NOTIFICATIONS MENU
Incoming update on Comicad.net. Introducing the new NOTIFICATIONS MENU, complete with SWEEP function. The new menu organizes notifications to reduce clutter & improve readability. And the new SWEEP button discards all items at once! Pretty handy!
New Account Email Update Method
Since many accounts got locked due to mistyped/unreachable emails, changing the main account e-mail now requires the emailed verification code before the update is effective.
Until the verification code sent to the new email address is supplied, the account email will not be changed, the operation can be canceled at any time and the account will not get locked because of it.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
We wish happy holidays to all our users and partners.
Rating standardization and the introduction of the Teen rating
The ratings of ads, publisher sites and publisher acceptance have been standardized.
A new rating "Teen" has been added to patch the "Mature" rating deficiency. The "Teen" inherited the "Mature" acceptance in order for live bids/exchanges not be disturbed.
The ad ratings are now as follows:
- Mild Nudity; Some Violence/Gore/Language
- Non explicit sexual content; Strong Violence/Gore/Language
- Pornography; Excessive Violence/Gore/Language
Some ads have been automatically moved to "Teen", owners shall raise their rating if it's not correct.
Publishers shall modify the ratings and acceptance of their sites accordingly.
Premium Members can now opt to hide the text footer on their ad units
Premium Member subscribers on Comicad Network can now hide the footer text link on ad units. Instead, a small Comicad logo appears in the corner of the ad. This makes for a cleaner design if desired. Premium Members can find this new option via a checkbox in their individual ad unit settings (by clicking the edit button on ad units) in their "Sites Section."
For more info on how to become a Premium Member and its perks, please read the FAQ Section or by clicking the "Get One" link in your Subscription card within your user account landing page.
New Withdrawal options and Balance Flush
Users can now withdrawal funds (user balance) at lower thresholds. The new options include $5, $10, $15, and $20 as well as an option to flush your balance. We hope his offers a bit more flexibility when managing your Comicad account funds.
Please note: Account balances below $5.00 can only be withdrawn (balance flush) by de-activating the account. Account balances below $0.50 cannot be withdrawn (due to transaction fees).
