The Rock Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Hello Xper.Your comment "MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND WE HAVE TO CLOSE MSFN" on my thread "GOOGLE ADS CREATING PROBLEM" has urged me to reply. I made this new therad because that was closed.I have no problems with the Ads. The problem is with the way they pick my nose. Before posting a reply, i hope you had read all the posts on the thread. What do We do? The Website man (Alanollz) says to me Opera user are a minority so he cant be assed. Then after sometime he said he is working on it. I have nothing against the guy, i know there is much more to life than Ads and Opera and he will do it when he will gets time. BUT MARK MY WORDS: THE DAY IT IS DONE OR OPERA 9.0 IS OUT (whichever is earlier), I WILL BE THE FIRST TO REMOVE GOOGLE ADS FROM MY HOSTS FILE.Regards,The RockP.S: Dont Ban me for this.
Zxian Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 His comment about having to close MSFN is perfectly valid. The Google Ads are what help fund the site. In another thread, xper mentioned that MSFN sees a total of about 1.3 TB (1300 GB) of bandwidth per year! If you look at typical hosting costs, this would amount to thousands and thousands of dollars. The Google Ads are the only way that a forum like this can recieve enough funding to continue to run.Alanoll originally mentioned that the problem was due to the way that Opera renders iFrames, which is true. The problem with the site is not Alanoll's fault. If the new site still uses the iFrames as Google provides them (they give you a snippet of code to add to your site), then the rendering problem will remain. He then said that he was working on an update to the site. However, Alanoll, like many others on this forum, has a life of his own and has other things to deal with. AFAIK, none of the mods or admins are getting paid to do their jobs. In the meantime, do the right thing and remove Google Ads from your host file and use IE to view the UA site. I'm 100% confident that it is a site that you can trust not to get spyware from so there's no need for that. You'd also be supporting the site that you're getting your help from.
