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.

Update for remote ad unit javascript codes

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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).

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.

Account Landing page statistics

Again a new update for account landing statistics.
Now is possible to get two lines on the charts by using the toggle links below the charts, a blue one is the statistics from targeted ads (bids/exchanges), the green one is from auto ads (ads that automatically display on free slots across the network).
Default mode is the sum of both (a single blue line).

Smackjeeves

Smackjeeves no longer offers custom templates, thus it's not possible to place custom ads there anymore.
The users that have smackjeeves publisher sites will have to update the main url to an alternative location in order to continue serving ads.
The advertisers with ads pointing to smackjeeves may have more luck because the redirects from the old addresses seem to be working, so no action is required.
