Forum troubles?

[elias4444]

I wasn't sure where else to mention this, but I seem to be having several issues with the LWJGL Forums. Is it just me? It doesn't seem to remember my login, even though I tell it to. And it's also started posting these weird "lwjgl" postings inbetween postings.

Hi,

I wasn't sure where else to mention this, but I seem to be having several issues with the LWJGL Forums. Is it just me? It doesn't seem to remember my login, even though I tell it to.

I have no problems with that.

And it's also started posting these weird "lwjgl" postings inbetween postings.

...which is really annoying! Looks like someone wants to make some revenue from Google ads, but this is very irritating. I know I will stop reading this forum if every second post is such an annoying ad.

Iwas experimenting with this and it is good that someone commented on this. I have turned it off now.

i dont mind it, it helps the dudes advertise (lets keep lwjgl alive ), and it doesnt show the add as a forum response. so its not like it tricks you to open a thread. anyway wotever helps people use the forums i guess

[elias4444]

Yeah, I don't mind it now that I know what it was for. If it helps lwjgl create revenue for future advancement... go for it!

I dont care for it if it does not show up every second post. Once per page should be enough. And afaik google prohibits using one google ad more than one time on a single page. So the revenue wont increase

realy?? but there is two, one at the top and 1 at the bottom

I removed the one in the middle
the top one and the bottom one are hardly annoying IMO

No, maximum of 3 per page.

You can place up to three ad units per page (in addition to one link unit and two referral units per product).

I agree. Thanks for removing the other ones!

Matzon, do the ad really have to be placed as a post? placing him directly under the posts should fit too i think so

@ad count: ah ok, thx

[Matzon]

I can add them as non posts too, but it looked a bit off-key themewise. So lets just have it top and bottom.

Ads could do with being slightly more targeted I think. More emphasis on games and openGL and probably books on those subjects.

I was about to ask what they were. I have most ads blocked in FireFox, so all I see are empty LWJGL posts.
If it generates more revenue for you guys, I'll un-block those adds

[Matzon]

nah, we only get paid per click, which is why they need to be more targetted
