On August 2001 we started giving you an option regarding the ads that are shown in the forums(note: this is only for the forums). The definition of "trade-off" requires a positive and a negative part: <br><br>
The good thing is that <u>you wont see the second ad</u> that appeares on the top(again, only in the forums). While our server speed is sufficient(or so we hope), our personal experience using the option is that loading times are better. <br><br>
The bad thing is that when you enter the main forum page or forum display page for the first time of your visit(and only in the first time) <u>you will be geting one (single) pop-up ad</u>. We have set it so that <U>you wont get another pop-up for the next 24 hours</u> after the first.<br><br>
<U>How to enable the option</u>: <br>
- Simply go to styles settings in <a href=http://apolyton.net/forums/member.php?action=editoptions>your options page</a> and select one of the "Special" styles. There is a "Special" equivalent for every existing style.<br><br>
<u>Got a pop-up while you didnt enable any of the special styles?</u> <br>
- There seems to be a small bug with the styles(unrelated with the ads), and sometimes the style setting is reset. To correct this just go <a href=http://apolyton.net/forums/member.php?action=editoptions>the options page</a> and press the submit button(the right style appears as the selected option already).<br>
- You may also be geting the pop-up if you are logged out. Login so that you can use the style that you have selected<br><br>
<u>Why go into the trouble of changing?</u><br>
- Because you wont be downloading and seeing ads that rarely interest you and because you'll be helping Apolyton<br><br>
<u>Pop-ups in other parts of the site</u><br>
We do have pop-up ads on the intermediate pages that appear in most times that you download a file or follow a link outside Apolyton. The <u>1 popup/24 hours/visitor</u> rule applies here as well.
