Important [Only Topic] Why advertisement ????

Post by maiquang November 10th 2010, 10:04 am

First topic message reminder :

I have a great time with the other members but Why advertisement column reappear.

Made an Only Topic



Typlo wrote:Dear user,

I'm sorry for the inconvenience it may have caused, the ads are here to support our developers and the staff so we can offer you new features.

This is only a test for the moment. Wink

Latest Update:
Typlo wrote:We have taken into consideration your complaints, and due to popular demand we will add back the option "guests" in your admin panel.

So everything will be back to normal on your forums, but if you want to support us please keep the option as it is. Wink

We are sorry for the inconvenience, and will be studying new revenue ways for next year, the option Goldman26 mentioned on Page 10 seems a nice alternative.

I'm very happy for all users that have their forums back as they were before. Thank you, Typlo.
But my forum still doesn't work Crying or Very sad I checked hundred times my Administration panel and there is no such thing as "for guest only". Here is the screenshot :

It will be in.

Admin panel>general>configuration.

scroll down to activate adds and the options should be there.
If if the option to set for guest is not back yet on your forums please be patent give it a lil more time.
I am not sure how forumotion add/remove options from the acp, but it might take a lil while befor all forums are restored with the option,but typlo has posted the feature will be returning, so it should not be much longer befor all forums are fixed.

This is bullcrap, like the officiating in the ravens game last night. Unless I'm blind, the option to select who sees ads is COMPLETELY GONE.

I have a suggestion for generating revenue. The current forum searches absolutely SUCK! I think if you teamed up with Google Adsense with their search function (with the ability to search your own site) add a better search box and make money off of that Smile

What a relief to hear that the guest only option for ads will be re-available shortly. Thumbs up to forumotion for doing the right thing and bringing this back.

In my admin panel, I do not have the option for guests though. I have a setting that says 'Reduce the amount of image ads shown?' and a yes or no option, and that is all I have.

So I await for this to return on my forum...I hope it won't be much longer!

I also don't understand the difference between those two? I have just one account which I created my forum with... and with that I can't see anything like "only for guest". This option is totally missing on my Administration panel.

Is there maybe some other way how to access the panel as a founder?

I believe what Typlo was saying is that the Founder's account is the only one who has the privileges to set the ad permissions. All you have to do is have the Founder sign in and set it (once they have updated all of the servers).

Since I am the Founder of my forum, I had no trouble setting it back to Guests only.

If I am incorrect, I apologize.

Well, that's very weird... because I am the founder, but I still don't have any option that I could turn those ads off. In my previous post I attached a screenshoot that shows excatly what kind of options I have and there is no "only for guest" option.

Well, I guess I'll have to wait and hope that this feature is activated for me too Smile

The option for advertisements for Guests only has returned for me, thankfully. :wouhou: Many, many thanks, Typlo & Forumotion. As the AUS$ is so strong at the moment, we are still thinking of paying for ad removal even though they are now gone for members. Smile

There was a revenue raising suggestion suggested, of placing an affiliate widget such as one for Amazon or paying to not have it. This may suit those forums who use widgets but not so for those of us who don't, I'm afraid. Do think the other suggestion to change the system for new forums re advertisements or not, is more viable.

Thank you for the guest option back. Our members are happy once again. This has been a rough few days. I have to be honest and say I was almost ready to move on. Replies from our member just like you guys got here coming to me like I was the one who put the ads up.
I hope the ads stay the way they are with us having the option of guest only.
Maybe take into account people that have been here for a while and how many hits they get. I think it is in less than a week that I have been with you for 3 years. I've been really happy with you guys untill this. Hopefully everything can go back to normal now.
Thanks Steve Stewart

Hello Typo .
Thank you soooon much for this new addiction to the forum.
I really feel as a privilege to have this new option to show adds just for guests.

Many, many thank you for your kindness and I hope non of my guests go silly at the point to click adds of naked womens and dog food adverts.

I think Forumotion need to survive and all of us are a good business to fell your pockets but again, it isn't your fault .

I would recall this attitude as a last resource of a company in the last legs !!
And...
(Tracian)
I was write that message at the same time you write yours , so was nothing to do with you but are you feel some needles on your chair ??
Just think and meditate about
is this right !??

I finish my post here and i will start something for real in a professional way !!
Thank you all.

Alright, I apologize once again for my previous post. I did not see the post saying it would be back. However, it is not back for us. I am sure they are working on it, and I hope my comments have not offended anyone.

Perhaps the reason it is not back for me is because I am only an admin and not the founder? If this is indeed true, we're still screwed because our founder only comes on once a month at the most.

I can see that my fellow Serbian people share the same frustration. We don't have the option for choosing to whom Ads might appear, unfortunately.

[The options were there for a long time, thou. By recent {?} events I know that they're working to fix the problem, but I really do wonder by which priorities ... ]
