Forums: ULTRA SPECIAL Styles

[Solver]

Skanky - any non-light style, like Default Ultra Special.

Markos: now I've also changed style in my options, no longer using the dropdown menu at front page... and haven't still seen a popup. Yay!

[Skanky Burns]

Thanks Solver.

[DarkCloud]

you mean on the light style?
well it's supposed to be light

But Mark, couldn't it still be light?

Lets say:

Rate this thread- Disabled
The Little Lights showing who's online- Disabled

however;

Who posted last in which thread- Enabled.

For a certain light using-

I think I'd use it if you'd create it- just a suggestion, you don't have to do it if you don't want to
But I think I'd use It- others may as well.

Oh and just to let you know that I'm up on forum updates- I like the Go (N)... as opposed to Go (New) for the news

[Skanky Burns]

I'd love a style like DC suggests. That would be pretty much perfect for me. And others.

[MarkG]

well i finally realised that in my effort to make pop-ups not appear on the front forum page(and thus not get an annoying banner on your welcome screen! ) i had made it so that you could get the cookie set but not the banner

now it's fixed

[MarkG]

here is a reference table for the styles

I'm using Civ 3 Ultra Special, and I must say that I like it.
I have a pop-up killer on, so it makes me feel kind of dirty, cheating the system like this though.
And I will miss Hillary lecturing me about Apolyton ware! *sniffles*

Btw, Markos that table looks really really bright
White text on white background. It's probably just IE, but I thought I'd let you know.

[MarkG]

thank you for killing this site Trip

[Solver]

Markos: Table is very bright, that's one thing.

However, please tell, why have I STILL not seen a single pop-up? Is it the new "Staff Member" style - no banners, no popups?

[MarkG]

solver, do you have javascript enabled?

[Solver]

Yes, and I do get Apolyton redirect popups and all kinds of popups at other sites.

[Skanky Burns]

Thanks for the reference table Markos.

I must be getting yours. Today when I logged into the main page I got a popup and then on the forum page I got one. First time it has happened since the switch. Not a problem but I think I found your popup Solver.

[Ming]

I've switched over... and I really like it. No more banners, and I haven't gotten more than 2 pop ads in any given day.

[Solver]

Given that you got to browse for 12 hours to get a third popup, I don't think that even you browse this much usually... I also feel satisfied by 2 popups in my browsing, for 10 or so hours here... but sometimes it's more, still.

In any case, I second Ming's
