Okay, so the moderators shut off my ads on my recent hub (LOL, some people just can't take a joke). Which is fine, saw that one coming (they get props for not shutting it down completely, honestly). SO... I went in to turn off the ads myself so I don't have to see that warning thing every time. BUT, when I go to the drop down menu where it shuts off, it won't let me shut it off.
So, how do I disable ads if the drop down menu doesn't 'click'? (I've had the same trouble resizing photos too, btw).
I tried using Firefox and I.E.
(Oh, and what's up with the all black screen when you hit save on certain modules too?)
Hey Shadesbreath,
I don't know about the black thing happening. However, if you want to change the ad settings, make sure that the box below the ads setting is unchecked. If the box is checked as a commercial writing, then ads will be set to high automatically and you will have no other options highlighted/available.
I just tested it on one of my hubs. I unchecked the small box that is related to "commercial" writing. When I unchecked the box, I could change the settings on the ads.
Hope that helps.
Yep, that was it. Thanks! (Oh, and I tossed up some drawing in it, if you're curious lol, now that the wave has passed and nobody will see).

I once received a warning that switching off ads on one of my pages was against TOS because the page was considered commercial. It was a long, deeply boring and rather technical effort concerning Synthetic Biology (google if you dare).I deleted the page (it never got any views anyway).Now Paul...

While editing a Hub in the HubTool, you may have noticed the “settings” section as part of the Hub Control Tabs in the right sidebar. This is where you can set the ad level settings for a Hub. You can choose from High, Medium, Low, and None. Because the Medium and Low settings were sparsely used...

As I'm yet still new here at hubpages, I've had some learning curves with the rules. The latest one today brings a question to my mind as to why we seem to be restricted to setting the ad level to 'HIGH' just to acknowledge that we have a 'commercial' hub?? This seems to force the author [me] to...

Have any of you found detestable ads on your hubs? It is a "game" with girls in bras...how distasteful I want it off my hub...do you know if we have a say in this? It has nothing to do with my poem and is disgusting to me.

I am writing this after seeing yet another recent low for my traffic this morning. It seems an unending downward trend. HubPages, please file this under constructive criticism. Or whatever. I feel like I am screaming into the void at this point anyway.Getting rid of the top video was a good start,...

I want to use HUB pages to promote A GPT site that I really like. Clearly this is against the Google Adsense TOS so I want to simply remove it and continue to post my page... I can't figure out how to do this though, I unchecked that it comply s with Google's TOS yet it still warns me that it might...
