Hi everyone,

I made a few changes to the site. One which will hopefully be some fun is a new reputation system. It is similar to what you might find on the bigger forums like digitalpoint. If someone helps you out then you mind consider addig to the their reputation. If someone spams up the forum then you might consider doing the opposite.

I also added a new adsense posting bot. It posts an advert under the first post of each thread. I will let you know how this ad position performs.

Cheers, glen

i added the ads below each post on my forum but haven't found them very successful, have you had any success with them?

[glen]

well most of the ads on this forum are just placed there as examples. i have a very low click through rate on this site (regardless of how I dress up the ads or where i put them) due to the nature of the audience i.e. a technically "smart" audience who recognise the ads and steer clear of them!

with that said, the in-line ad has not done well at all. I might change the colour as I am getting sick of staring at purple ads!

EDIT: i just borrowed your colours from the webberscorner. Hope that is OK.

Cheers, Glen

Well I might be "smart" but I always click on a few ads just because I can & I like you!!!

well so long as you are keen on the ad and not just to do me a favour i guess that is OK! thanks Brutus.
