New Billboard ad model
Due to the lack of popularity, the "Responsive" ad model, which allowed custom ad formats, up to 1000x600, has been discontinued. It's no longer possible to use the model for new units or ads.
To replace it: the new Billboard model, fixed-size, 1000x250 and responsive by default.
New Responsive Options for Fixed Ad Types
All fixed sized ad units now have mobile responsive options via checkbox. When checked the ad type will scale proportionally depending on container size (or browser window) up to the original ad type's dimensions. These new options are useful for ads that need to display on small screen sizes.
Comicad Limited Beta
Comicad.net will be doing a limited live beta of new account options on Saturday June 6th to Sept 6th 2020 (and possibly beyond). We've chosen user accounts at random that meet the criteria for testing these new options/features, so you may see some different options or layouts on a limited number of user accounts during the beta period.

Solved issue with Rebid button
The rebid button would not work on publisher sites which titles had a quote (').
It's now fixed.
Update for remote ad unit javascript codes
- It's now possible to enable support for defer/async attributes, all you need to do is check the option on the site's edit page and place "defer" or "async" on the script tag.
- With this update duplicate and hidden units no longer count for the statistics. If you have such units on your site, you might experience a small drop in the daily views.
- Please note that unit duplication is allowed for design purposes only, it's forbidden to have more than 1 duplicate unit visible on the layout at same time.
Incoming Paypal Email Update
ADD FUNDS & WITHDRAWAL SECTIONS:
Effective April 1st 2020, Paypal emails are now automatically registered when a payment is made, and will no longer need to be manually set (or edited) when adding funds. However, if a change is needed it can be unlocked/reset to allow a new payment carrying a different email address. To unlock, a code is sent to the email itself.
Payments not matching previously registered Paypal email address and/or account id, will be aborted (payer's Paypal won't be charged). The Paypal account id can only be unlocked by request.
Publishers who only withdrawal funds, can supply their Paypal email through a dummy payment in the withdrawals section. (Dummy payments do not charge the paypal account, it only confirms the email address).
UPDATES to Bids & Exchange sections! (REBID button and more!)
Fixes and improvements
- A bug was fixed on bid and exchange lists, in certain situations the discard operation would result in the retrieval of clone rows.
- Also, javascript errors have been fixed on the same lists, in some situations, invalid data would be diverted to the inline popup box.
- DAV (Daily average views) number now updates every 5 hours instead of daily. The unit's initial 24h period remains hourly.
In the next hours a bigger update will be released, stay tuned.
Out of balance update
Bids are no longer cancelled when user account is running out of balance.
Now, such bids become outbid. If the account receives new funds (either by deposit or publisher quotas), the bid automatically returns to live (if still winner) on ad unit's next remote pageview.
