Upgrading of advertising networks (Oops)
April 23rd, 2023 | 
Author:
The testing/upgrading has been completed on April 24, but there was a slight hiccup in that our techie accidentally set the caching for the website to “manual” and forgot to switch it back to “auto” after running some tests.
Due to the above, the website’s cache system was not refreshed with the latest articles and had remained stagnant for a few days. This has since been fixed.
Please be informed that we will be performing an upgrade and testing of our existing advertising network with a view to replace and reduce the amount of non-performing/irritating ads on our website.
During this process, our website may appear broken while some inappropriate advertisements may appear while we setup the ad filters for the website. The entire process may take a few days to complete.
Kindly help to report any inappropriate ads or assess problems by following up in this thread.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding and support.

Sorry about the very irritating and ugly in-article ads that have been appearing since yesterday. It is very intrusive and has been disabled.
If you are still seeing such ads IN an article, please follow up and let me know.
Thank you.

Some readers I contacted have confirmed that the irritating in-article ads have been removed as of 24th April. I have also cleared both the website and CDN cache.
If you are still seeing these ads, please clear your browser’s cache and refresh. If you do not know how, the cache settings for TRE will force the browser to automatically clear and refresh the cache in about 8 hours, i.e. 8am @ 25th April.
Again, so sorry about that, my bad.
