I'm not sure weather this might bring up a problem but I was watching you and saw an ad(not a video add but a window pop-up thing). But I saw the ad and it said Wizard101 create your own wizard today but it had No pictures of wizard101 the only picture it had was a screenshot of the video game adaptation of the second Harry Potter movie when Harry and Draco are dueling in defense against the dark arts class.

Thank you for your report. Since we work with a number of advertising partners, sometimes these bad ads can be a bit tricky to track down, but I have alerted Marketing and they have asked for assistance.

The next time you see this ad, please respond back with the URL it tries to take you to.

1- Right click on the ad
2- Copy link address
3- Send the URL to community@wizard101.com or paste it here on the message boards.

I do know that the ad has been seen on YouTube. I would love this particular URL, so I could help them take care of the issue.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info, Dworgyn! I have not come across these ads since I use ad blocker whenever possible, but I will absolutely keep my eyes open for these ads.

As you told me I sent it to the link but it did not go through it said along the lines of this user is not recognized. Is there abhor her way like a phone number or something like that I could try or if you can think of anything else.

Unfortunately the picture alone doesn't give us a lot of information to go on. It's the link from the ad before you click on it that I'm really after.

I just saw a banner ad for Wizard101 on another website. (Which one isn't important since it's almost certainly on more than one.) The problem with it is that it had the Wizard101 logo, and clicking it did link to this website, but the screenshot behind it was taken from a Harry Potter video game. I don't know if it's false advertizing or what, but it needs to be more accurate.
