Mark, replace pop-ups with those interstitials you were talking about.

Agreed - would that pay all right? I mean once every six hours would not be too bad and I would not have to close a window. I would even take it once every time I get on or every two hours or something. I do not mind interstitials because they go off the screen after a few seconds without me having to take care of them.

Ah I see. So the fact that I am using Ultra light is actually good for you because I have not bought anything off those links. Good to know. When I look at buying something online, I will make sure to click those links to check prices but I usually can find things cheaper at Canadian software vendors because of the US/Canada exchange rate.

BTW, Markos, under Mozilla, I have to adjust zoom level all the time, cause Apolyton looks darn small.

Hey Markos - despite my loathing of pop-ups I can definitely live with the new styles...

Light Ultra-Special is now my favourite style!

Must admit, I like the new style so far... but then again, I don't think I've had even a single pop-up yet while browsing the forums (I get plenty when visiting the rest of the site/downloading/clicking external links though)...

What am I doing wrong? I got 3 popups yesterday during an undetermined number of hours yesterday. Probably had to do with the fact I changed styles a few times, and also used external links.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Markos, would it be possible to make a table listing what each of the styles has regarding features, such as whether buttons on each persons post are text or graphic, or if the last person to reply to a thread is shown?

In a related question, what ULTRA-SPECIAL style allows you to see the name of the last person who posted in a thread?

Skanky - any non-light style, like Default Ultra Special.

Markos: now I've also changed style in my options, no longer using the dropdown menu at front page... and haven't still seen a popup. Yay!

I'm using Civ 3 Ultra Special, and I must say that I like it.
I have a pop-up killer on, so it makes me feel kind of dirty, cheating the system like this though.
And I will miss Hillary lecturing me about Apolyton ware! *sniffles*

Btw, Markos that table looks really really bright

Given that you got to browse for 12 hours to get a third popup, I don't think that even you browse this much usually... I also feel satisfied by 2 popups in my browsing, for 10 or so hours here... but sometimes it's more, still.

In any case, I second Ming's
