Back when I started sending my data they said as long as I did there will be no adds on the site.
I see today they are running adds even though I am logged in and sending data.
I sent them a email asking if this will be the norm.
If so WU will no longer get my data.

I didn't see any ads on any of my pages, but then again I use classic.wunderground.com.  Perhaps that's the difference.

Try the new site instead of the classic.

Ads show up for me in new and classic WU.  Gotta make money somehow, eh?

When I am not signed in, I see adds on your page!  When I sign in I do not.  Are you certain you are signed in?

I use Adblock so that's why you see that empty space in the upper right hand part of the page. That's where the ad was.

No ads showing up here (new or classic), when I'm signed in.  Obviously if I sign out the ads start showing.
Tried in IE, FF, and Chrome.  Maybe try clearing your browser cache/cookies and sign back in?

What does it say when you click on setting and go to the Member Settings page?
It should read: Status:    No-Ads Paid Membership right under your Handle.

That's exactly what it says Larry.
No-Ads Paid Membership
I wonder why it's only my self and Bushman who see the ads. Confused
I guess I'll have to wait for their reply.

Did you try signing out, clearing your browser cache, cookies etc. then restarting the
browser and signing back in?  Can't say if it will work or not but it's worth a shot while you are
waiting for a response from WU.

Also, you mentioned you're running Ad-block.  Maybe a conflict with that plug-in?  Try disabling it
and see what happens.

WU ads are almost as bad as paying 10 a month to read the newspaper online

Hate it when I check many different newspapers a day.

Actually, I don't mind the ads but now the small town papers I frequented have switched to subscription only to read ANY story so the advertizers lost me.

Clearing the cache seems to have fixed the problem.
Thanks Larry.
But I really think it was just me threatening to cut off the data. Rolling Eyes
