What's the matter? Accept some ads, help finance one of the finest Amiga sites we all use more or less frequently?

Don't care about the badge,

It's the same over at a1k. Nothing's for free, accepting a few ads is the least I can do.

Predseda · 06 September 2013, 22:36

I agree with PeterK a bit. But I also understand those badges. Anyway, it was a good idea to put hyperlink to this thread under the badge. It led me here

Firestone · 06 September 2013, 23:15

Supported!

Dunny · 07 September 2013, 00:27

Yeah, this is worth it. Disabled my adblocker for eab and accepted.

TBH, I don't care about the 'badges' either, but it does bother me to see this on my Public Profile page when it's simply not true:

mr.vince · 07 September 2013, 20:49

Because you're a donator? Or because you don't support EAB?

Have you not been reading the thread?

To whom, then, did you address this question?

Ah, must have mixed that up. The last two days were a little tricky.

I was originally addressing Peter's (and other posts) dealing with user classification etc.

My code was correct, but for one unknown reason the vB cron engine was not able to call it correctly.
I moved my script to the linux debian classic cron, everything is working now and donator status will be updated every hours, sorry for delay Prowler

DH · 08 September 2013, 15:01

Thanks RCK, knew you would fix the issue

EDIT: Prowler will be overjoyed

Yep, thanks RCK!

Done and done, I may not post much these days but I do visit almost daily!

lesta_smsc · 12 September 2013, 00:10

Must have missed this thread out of ignorance, of course I would be happy to view the ads (for the sake of this site running!).

RCK · 14 September 2013, 18:42

I think all active members have now read this thread.
Thanks at all for your support guys !

One last modification, recent donators in the last 30 days will have the green one:

And recent donator in the last 10 days will have the red one:

Paul_s · 16 September 2013, 12:13

As said in PM, will be making a donation this week to the beloved EAB.

Today some non-ads appeared on this site for me even when logged in and they are quite annoying.
They are non-ads in the way that it is a horizontal bar with only the text 'Ads not by this site' in it after every three posts. I have an Adblocker running so it might be replacing an ad with that text. What happened since they are now appearing? I despise ads which is why I donated money instead of having them shown.

Edit: Just tried disabling the adblocker and now I get ads for saving forests, food disasters, tornado relief etc..

DH · 17 September 2013, 23:04

You're lucky, I get adds for men only gaming :s

I've resisted so far, because it guarantees me that I'll lose all my friends, and become very sad, because I won't want to stop playing.

demolition · 17 September 2013, 23:14

I found out that it was actually caused by a browser addon in Firefox called A2ZLyrics, which I most definitely did not install. After removing it, the ads have disappeared again. Now the question is how it got into my browser (and my program files folder as well actually). The only software I've installed lately came from sourceforge and they're generally quite reputable in my mind..

It's a conspiracy, I tells ya! EAB infused the app into your system while you weren't watching...

On a related note: I recently installed a rather unsuspicious application and it came with a nice 'change default search provider, homepage and toolbar' package without asking me

Not hard to remove, but really annoying that they sneaked it in without asking.
