Ads to come soon
« on: April 07, 2012, 06:03:19 pm »
You must have been wondering why this forum hasn't got any ads? Well, we're on a 45 day ad-free period  ;D All good now, but nearly on day 46 since the forum launched, and so expect ads to appear in a similar format to the support forums . Unlimited ad-free is $14 a month, but we can get credit for as low as $5.

If having the ads is too much of a problem, I can look into paying for the credits... what are your thoughts?

"Adchoices" Take a look here http://support.createaforum.com/

They could be any ad, but, as you can see in that forum, they're long landscape banners, sitting under the tabs, but above the forum. Take a look at the link to see what it would be like.

Firefox, Grease Monkey, AdBlock Plus...

Any ads that get through the above, get blocked manually.
I see very few ads these days!

What ads?  ;D

If they appear on the site, it doesn't bother me.  ;)

As already been said. Adblock plus gets rid of them.

Thank you, thank you  ;D :o It works like magic.

Will send out an auto message to all members letting them know - all it takes is Adblock Plus, as long as they're using Chrome or Firefox  ::)
