    I just noticed that I can't see the "ads by yahoo" sign on my site: http://tvWiki.tv

    Anyone else notice this?

    Mine are fine, but you could have a localized issue.

    Looks like a localized issue. You might contact them to let them know.

    I do not see them on your site, but I am able to mouseover about your ads and get the pointer to change to a hand and go to the publisher.yahoo.com site. So it's there, just not showing up. It might be the span or div tags around your ad code.

    I had something similar happen to me with Google ads when I tried to temporarily disable them by placing <!----tags----> around them.

    I wonder if this is just yahoo experimenting. I don't think I changed anything that would have removed the ads.

    It's there, it's just very hard to see with the background color of the site.

    How do I change the color of the "ads by yahoo" text? I don't want it to be the same as the background.

    That cannot be changed. It will be determined by the colors you select, but will always show and be the color that works best for their letters.

    Simple fix, just change the border color to pure white ctxt_ad_bc = "FFFFFF";.

    Also, I would remove the left side heading tag <h5>tv links</h5> it is definitely misleading and against TOS.

    There are a few bugs in the yahoo coloring scheme, espcially with the non-pure white colors.

    Thanks for pointing out the TOS violation. I've changed the text to "tv ads."
