Yea, 9.0.1 has been doing all kinds of weird stuff. Especially with Java.

FF9 not being able to properly render most of the websites I go to is what made me switch back to Chrome; Chrome doesn't show a webpage one day and then break it the next. :pok:

Still love the four add-ons I have in FF though. :D

Don't worry about clicking them unless there is something you are genuinely interested in.  We get a fraction of a cent for impressions (views) and a slightly larger fraction of a cent for clicks, so it really isn't worth it to click on them if it's not something you want to look at.  In fact, false clicks can have a detrimental effect for us, so only click on them if you mean it!  :D

The donate button should be live tomorrow- we are just trying to work the kinks out of it before we open it up to everyone.

BTW, we have had a donate button on SOSAKOnline for about six years now, and I think it's been used maybe twice in that time, which is why I've never considered it to be a priority.  Never let it be said I'm not willing to be proven wrong!

Def
That's a shame, bit of a poor show, only used a few times :( I hope its a different story here, I've had some great trades and got some awesome mt's that I would not have otherwise been able to get. I know there's the trade payment system but tell me if I'm wrong, that works with the seller contributing something, so at least with the donate button I could give something and not just for a trades etc, well that's my take on it, thanks MTO :tu:

I try to avoid anything Google related installed on my machine ... I just don't trust the buggers. Facebook too ... and blue cheese ... why would I want to eat blue cheese ... it's gone off!

It would be nice to chuck a few quid in the pot when you know you can spare it and you're in the mood. Beats thinking "What's the emaill addy again? - Oh I'll find it later" and not bothering because you've forgot ... but even that beats blue cheese. If anyone brought out a multitool called blue cheese - I wouldn't buy it out of principle

Blue cheese is just WRONG!!  :P

Thanks for all the great work guys  :salute: :salute: :salute:

It's hiding on my screen. Whoey, you still working on it, or is that another FartBox 9.0.1 issue?

No probs on the blue cheese.  :tu: Steer clear of calling it Ferrero Roche too... it'll be badly dubbed and it won't cut anything until you've put it away ... what was with those adverts  :think: (possibly only relevant in the UK)

The funny thing is that with Google ads, the bot will be watching what you are typing about, and tailor the ads to local business on the subject.
So you should be getting plenty more Blue Cheese offers Al. :D

Flash ads are awful. And with HTML5 and CSS3 Flash should be unnecessary... :)
You should seriously visit vicfan.com. All the hoopy froods are doing it.

As I said, there may be some fiddling, but what you see now is pretty much as far as we are going to go.  I don't want to disrupt the forum with it.

I like the way it's been done.  A few ads are fine so long as it doesn't get carried away.  Costs need to be covered some how  :salute:

Sort of- dks was first but since he fed some funny money into the bill collector slot it's gone and backed up a bit!  So yours is the first donation completed, although he was the first one to use it!  :D

What is wrong with convertion Grant? 5Euro is more than 4.45 dollars.

Are you being robbed by Paypal?

Do you remember those little spring guns that use to shoot the plastic disks? They use to really sting, although they have forced the manufacturers to switch to foam projectiles (bunch of smurfies), what fun is a war game without some good welts?

Anyway, they really left a good bruise when you loaded a nickle in one >:D
