i dont get this....

what's your style and your browser?

**KrazyHorse** · July 22, 2001, 03:37

I don't get it either. IE5, regular (whatever you call the alternative to lite).

**Hueij** · July 22, 2001, 03:37

Opera 5.12 with the default style. But I don't think that that would make any difference, it looks like you overlooked a comment end tag...

Edit: after reading KH's post I checked with IE and indeed, it doesn't show up there... All the more reason to check your code in different browsers?

Yet another edit: I think I know what happened

After closing Webwasher (sorry

) it disappeared. Instead there were the two ads...

**MarkG** · July 22, 2001, 03:46

is it still there?

**Hueij** · July 22, 2001, 04:28

With Webwasher active it's still there, with WW inactive I see this:

Hueji, webwasher is not nice. If all the ad people start thinking we're not watching their ads, Markos will have to pay for the server sapce himself.

I have this arrow too.

I know... Normally I turn it off when coming here but I was on an EZ board before (and if you knew what they do with pop ups you would use Webwasher too

) and I simply forgot. Normally the only time I use Webwasher on Apolyton is when the UGO ads take annoyingly long to load...

Yes. Proxomitron is much better

The only problem is, I have no idea how to get something similar to Linux

ahh that webwasher could be handy, thanks for the tip guys, will try downloading it at home

Markos,

I know you guys cannot get to much money from the ads especially in the current state of advertising online and most people hate the load time for ads.

What if you had an optional fee to join the forums ad free? I'd be willing to spend like $25 a year to browse the forums daily without ads and it would be more money from me than your going to get from my click throughs on those ads.

I know kuro5hin has added this kind of feature. I think they charge $5 a month, a little steep although I might consider it for Apolyton. Find out more about there program at http://www.kuro5hin.org/special/subscribe

**MarkG** · July 22, 2001, 19:15

thanks for the suggestion, tniem

one thing against such an program is that while it is achievable to do this on the forums, it is not easy for the rest of the site....

**TCO** · July 22, 2001, 22:57

Which is the bigger cost (in terms of server space and bandwidth). The forums or the site? I spend way more time on the forums. The rest of the site is window dressing to support the community...

**TCO** · July 22, 2001, 22:59

I would pay for the forums. But lots of HS and college kids would not. If you do install a paid system, leave the rest of the site unpaid and have the forums as "premium". Also maybe good to give guest memeberships to hook people...but then you will have problems with DLs.
