Dear users and members,

To improve the ranking and the audience of your forum, we inform you that we have now added a new feature entitled "Traffic exchange" which remains in Beta.

This new option will allow you to share traffic and visitors, with forums in the same category as your forum topics and have similar or close subjects to yours.
It will appear at the end of each subject in the form of a block of links related to the selected subject.

To increase the number of visitors and thus the general audience of your forum, you should turn on option traffic exchange in your admin panel>> General>> Forum promotion >> Traffic exchange.

You can of course deactivate it when you want.

See you soon for some fresh news!

thank you for the new post but it still does not tell me which one to copy and paste and where do i copy and paste it into . punbb

I have turned mine on thanks for update

so does this get you more visitors through search engines or is it just if someone is on another free forum and they click on the link at the bottom of there topic ?

Hello Typlo,

Does this implicate that forums which are using phpBB3, do not need to add anything beyond making the switch to 'activate'?

NOTICE: I builded my own skin from a phpBB3 skin, and I remember that I used to be able to edit CSS somewhere. But after making the switch to 'activate'... nothing appears to have changed. So far I can not find any 'block of links' at the end of the few topics that I am monitoring right now, see: http://www.modernhandreadingforum.com

Additionallly I have a more specified question:

Should there appear a 'block of links' at the bottom of EVERY topic?
(Or will the number of links vary, and depend on the content of the topic?)

could someone-anyone please give me the information to complete this task

i have activated it but it will not show up

the sticky does not tell people which one to copy and paste ( before or after ) and where to copy and paste it into .

i think this would help a lot of people .

i have punbb.

I didn't need to modify anything as it was already there, i just had to enable it via the admin panel...is this new mod anyway different to what was already in the template as old script would need to be deleted before adding the new script?

I use PunBB

I replaced the old script with the new having first saved the old script.. to try it out, it just opens the similar topics box where before the user had the option to open or ignore. and only shows up on some topics.

I put the original script back as it leaves the box closed unless clicked on to open, a better idea methinks although a lot of the links are either in a foriegn language or are not relevant to the subject of the topic. so I dont know whether or not to keep it ..I will try it for a while to see how it goes

Copy the "Paste" code & place it in the next line after the "After" script ends.

Alternatively, if you haven't edited the template specified, it'll already be there
(Alternatively, delete the template & add your modifications)

Also you need to save and publish before the changes take place

excelent update!

Awesome O.o

Thanks for this Update

The option is not there yet.

I have not that option at my ACP yet ?
