Markos! Now the ultra-special has gone mad!

[Solver]

OK, you obviously saw me telling yesterday that I haven't seen a popup with the ultra-sepcial. When I logged in, I saw one, but, over the last 5 minutes, I saw 6 popups! When loading Apolyton community, Civ3-General, whatever else, and when clicked on New Thread here!

I understand you get money for popups, but this is a bit too much, eh . And yes, I see request to www.popuptraffic.com in the statusbar... come on Markos, plz .

end rant.

[MarkG]

i didnt do anything

some browser-cookies issue it must be....

[Solver]

Oh well, I do now get a popup for EACH PAGE LOAD!!!

This is starting to look like the worst of porn sites, you know .

BTW, if I go back to normal styles, I'll at least see the banners with you shooting at kittens . You know, your look really reminds me of someone...

[MarkG]

try closing your browser, restarting it, and opening apolyton from apolyton.net/forums

[Solver]

To be honest, I certainly prefered the no-popups style . BTW, what did you do to make me see the first popup today?

Is the site Mozilla compatible?

[MarkG]

again: i didnt change anything that has to do with the pop-ups

the site runs fine on mozilla
if you use mozilla, you can check if the cookie exists and when it expires

[Solver]

Checked, tweaked some options, and looks like it's all right now.

BTW, on Mozilla, it looks very small, I gotta use zoom of 125-130%. Will post a screen after I have played Civ.

Keep in mind it's Linux Mozilla...

[MarkG]

it looks just fine on windows mozilla

[Solver]

That's because windows sucks

OK, I'm now in Windows and going to run Civ, then I'll probably post a screenshot when I return. Maybe it's a fonts issue, those tend to happen, but other sites look OK. Does Apolyton try to use any fonts?

[Locutus]

Yes, I have problems with the Apolyton fonts when accessing from a Solaris or Linux machine (using Netscape) as well. I've found that, in Netscape at least, you can choose to 'use default fonts, overwriting document-specific fonts' to overcome this problem. Maybe Mozilla has a similar option?

[Solver]

Given that Mozilla is Netscape based... let me look... well there's a similar option, will now post back.

You bastard, you use Solaris, too? I so much want to see it...

[Locutus]

Heh, we are probably the biggest/most advance CS faculty in the country over here, we have more OSs than you can shake a stick at

(but in case you're wondering, yes, Solaris is very, very good )

[Solver]

Locutus is again telling that he's the most advanced, the most clever, the borgest, etc .

Solaris I haven't worked with due to, erm, stuff associated with obtaining it. Other than that, you can hardly name popular OSs I've not worked with .

[Locutus]

Nah, I'm just pointing out we have a big uni with lots of OSs. I usually only use Windows myself. Linux is nice to play around with when you're bored and Solaris/Unix is inevitable when you have to work on workstations rather than PCs, but I prefer to just use Windows for everything (since it's the only OS CtP2 will run on )

[Zealot]

Who cares about the ultra special view now that we have funny banners to laugh about?
