    what's the go with these new ads?

    the ones directly above markets. shop, chat etc.

    the foxtel and vodafone ones are the most annoying, since they roll down automatically, is the site making more money from them? they seem relatively new

    Yeah, I know, how to put you off a product line. How to tell them you won't ever buy the product of such rude advertising?
    Just hit the refresh button on your browser if you accidentally hit the ad. Then keep clear as you reload the page.

    Thing is though, why do you need to keep clear of it?...it's my friggin screen!, I should be able to move my mouse where I want it to without damn ad's popping up unwanted just because my cursor went over it.

    I understand the need for advertising, but not intrusive ones.

    Ray,

    Nope, you'll find there are subscribers in the other thread 'bitching' too.

    snap.but you are right i think anyone that is above master level should probably subscribe and anyone that is a wizard or higher should definately i dont want to sound like i am having a go at people and especially since i did not subscribe until i was at wizrd level but you have to ask your self how much have you got out of this and everyone one will agree you have gotten a heap of help and valuable information.anyway just like to thank the mods and admins aswell as the valuable members for all the help this is one of the best communitys ever
    Thanks Tony

    hehe, I always find it amusing when people complain about ads on a free service.

    Nothing in life is free!

    There is always someone who has to pay.


    The cost of the bandwidth required to service the number of users, at this minute 170 active users, must be significant. Then there's the cost of purchase and maintenance of the servers and storage capacity, the human time (SysOp) to monitor and repair the operation of the servers. The list goes on.

    Just because some people have open access doesn't mean it's free.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
