    We're tweaking the Front Page :-)

    to help pay for the HOOOOOGE amount of bandwidth that I use...and you lot use a bit too we are tying a few links in with peeps like Intel, so that certain words are GREEN and when you hover over them you get a quick bit of blurb.

    Now as you all know....I am clueless on how it works, and for me, right now, its in French ! but I am sure the boss knows what he's doing really

    It'll take a bit of time, so bear with us. But the plan is "stealthy smart and professional" adverts that try to get in the way as little as possible, while still funding my Abuse of Capital Letters

    GO try it...see what ya think. And please....please...be positive. Cos I know the Forum costs somke fairly serious dough to keep it alive, and so far, it's looking STRONGER THAN EVER

    cheers peeps...thought you'd wanna know

    its going welll as it goes

    "Compliment and not Conflict." Sounds nice but my boss is a clever sod (Spin Doctor)

    It pays for Zak's applaing abuse of the forums Fact is we have lots of dudes looking all the time. Lots of members, more by the day, AND lots and LOTS of visitors. PLUS the main page, which is the REAL SITE, cos its read by thousands of people per minute.

    My mind boggles at it...it really does. We get what David calls "impressions" at a terrifying rate. I told him to ban people like Rory Bremner, but he slapped me

    If you know a better way to do it - please let me know. They pop up - not force clicks, they also are in GREEN which is not a HEXUS colour to add distinction

    we have a bit of control over them, so they shant be irritating. Az, who I am currentll owing everything too, is a bit of a dude really. And he can do stuff to them to keep them "subtle"

    Fact is, once you're on the page, you can choose to explore them with a mouse, or not if ya dont want.

    I voted for it over having to wear a sandwich board, and walk around in public with no clothes on, blowing a flute and shaving my pubes for charity.

    So blame me

    i dont have a problem with them they just always pop up when im reading ,although that could be because i move the mouse over them

    any chance of a diff colour tho as every 1 makes them green?

    da_ging that IS because you move the mouse over them! make no mistake about that. lol.

    I would be dead against it if they were special mind reading ad's trust me! hehe.

    Personally when im reading the front page I just keep my mouse in the same palce and use the scroll wheel.

    well even if you didn't use a scroll wheel they wouldnt get in your way when scrolling down I'm fine with them myself, I just keep my mouse as far away from the links as possible
