    I've had a few reports about this too, but I can't pinpoint what the problem is.

    Those users that did respond were using Firefox. Any others were abusive anonymous emails so I didn't get any useful info from them. 🙂

    I'm sure it was Firefox in Windows.

    I think kamalbatra's is a real problem, where mine is most likely down to user error. For example, kids trying to use school computers that have javascript disabled etc.

    I can't tell for sure if it even happens, because the reports are from randoms that I have no contact with and I can't reproduce it. That's why I didn't mention anything before. I'll post more info if someone that has the problem is actually willing to help solve it.

    Our links require JavaScript to be enabled.

    If you can send me a screenshot or a specific version that is impacted I can take a look.

    That is fine but i think you should use any coding or software so that "skip ad" should be available on every minor handset also.then i will give you bulky traffic,believe me,i can give even 10,000 visits to my shor url/day also.but you must 1st implement that feature.okk? So when are you implementing?fast

    Unfortunately I am not able to see this because I don't have a Nokia browser.

    I'll speak with the programmer about this bug.

    I've tried my best to get more info on the problem that people are reporting to me. Only one person responded to my messages and I think he was just distracted by the ad and didn't notice the skip button.

    He originally sent me a screenshot of the ad, explaining that the skip button wasn't there. When I asked for a screenshot that contained the of the top of the page, the skip button was definitely there, although he said it wasn't before..

    So, either these users simply can't see past their nose, or maybe iLivid are breaking the iFrame to force people to download at the end of their countdown? It's the only 2 possible explanations I can think of.

    User error is definitely the most likely cause, because I've never seen any problems from people that I actually know.

    Dude i have noticed in so many handsets that "skip ad" is not available.i checked in my nokia handset and in many of my friend's nokia/samsung handset but skip ad isn't there. This is a big problem.and admin,you should raise the cpm of india also,its 0.50 $,i think its very less as indians promote your site too much and you don't give them any reward. :-(

    Ah, interesting. Thanks for providing that info.

    I'll look into making the skip button more noticeable for our next round of updates.

    Still checking in on it. The problem is mobile traffic is not very useful to us right now so it is a low priority. We don't make any money from mobile traffic.

    As for the CPM in India, it's all based on what we make from that traffic. India rates go up and down.
