Ever thought about having a shoutbox?
Saybox.co.uk do some good ones.

I like the idea of that, thanks!
Will have a look at that tomorrow and see if I can figure out how to put one on.
There is a chatroom on the main website, but it often gets overlooked as most come straight to the forum, or people go in there, see no-one there and sign out and the next person signs in after they've left etc etc.

They're easy to do. You just sign up for one, adjust the colour settings and height and width, how many shouts per page, censored words, etc. Then it gives you the code to put in your site's headers/footers. And if you want it to be centered with the actual site so it's all neatly lined up you put:
<center> "shoutbox code here" </center>
Shoutboxes are more ideal imo, as you can see it on the main site. And there is a way to make it available to only members. I have such a code on my forum, so I'd have to check my headers n' footers for it if you ever want it.

As this was mentioned some time ago, I've set one up finally. It would solve the chat problem if you all wanted to post your chat stuff on there, but if you don't, not to worry.
I would then be able to reinstate the last 70 posts function, so it doesn't get clogged.
It's at the bottom of the main forum page below all the users online section.
Have a go and see how you get on!

I was greeted by a pop up advert when I logged in today, not desperately pleased about that as I've got a pop up blocker yet it didn't catch it.

I've cleared my cache, logged out and logged in again and I still can't see it.

Isn't Pob on Firefox? Might be worth asking him.

So it shouldn't be firefox that's blocking it for me. What does it look like? Is there a link to it?

I didn't get it and I use Firefox. I do use adblock, though. That may stop it.
I use noscript too, which is blocking a script from bravenet - that may be what stops the pop-up.

Ok, are you getting no ads, or no shoutbox?
|
|

Post by Pob on Aug 28, 2006 16:33:57 GMT
I get no-ads, but I do get the shoutbox. I had to allow some scripts for the shoutbox to appear. I have bravenet blocked for scripts and adblock running and between them I see no ads.

Ok, so yours is ok then? I got no ads at work, but have just had one pop up at home. I will look into their forum over the next day or so to see whether I can do anything about the ads, and the Saybox isn't a definite permanant fixture here. It's just a trial. Fezza the addie is www.saybox.co.uk if you want to see what it looks like.

Hmmmmmm might be the norten then. I don't get ads normally & I'm not getting any shout box at all.
Pob what did you do to allow scripts?
|
|
|
Post by Pob on Aug 28, 2006 16:45:01 GMT
Well I use noscript extension for Firefox which stops all scripts as default, then I whitelist domains that are allowed to run scripts. So that probably won't help you.

Post by fezzarooooo on Aug 28, 2006 20:15:04 GMT
Right I can view it if I turn the norton ad blocker off but that also means I'm bombarded with ads which isn't something I'll be doing to often. Tbh I don't like it.
