Intellitxt links front page

Zardon · Oct 17, 2003, 06:50 PM

Ok before someone starts a thread bitching ill post this first

We have added intellitxt links front page. any problems let us know. they are being used on anandtech, warp2search and many other sites, "why?" I hear you ask?

its simple, revenue for the site. to hopefully move to a faster server, so before you all start calling me names

bear in mind hopefully in time these will help with the other ads move us to a better faster server.

I cant see what is does. Whats so good about it? The page looks the same with it on or off.

I've also noticed nothing different about the front page.

I've switched off and back on to see what's what, too.

hmm, doesn't look like a good thing, but if its not acctually doing anything to the types of articles we use on the front page its not so bad.

If it helps the site and the links don't try to install Gator-type crap then its all good

Dyre Straits · Oct 17, 2003, 07:55 PM

I definitely don't want 'gator-like' prompts.

Zardon · Oct 17, 2003, 09:27 PM

gator did run in the ad scripts for a while they were removed. the intellitxt links arent that intrusive so its cool. still fine tuning them.....

If it helps pay for the site and gets us to maybe better server, I am totally for it! I know that DH is not free for ya Zardon.

appears to work nicely....

~~craig588~~ · Oct 19, 2003, 02:40 AM

I still dont see any change. If your getting money and I'm not affected I'm fine with it.

Judas · Oct 19, 2003, 02:56 AM

well..if i understand how it works correctly... it could prove to be helpful actually....

Zardon · Oct 19, 2003, 10:35 AM

macs are ok I guess, just a little glossy and we have to use MAC OS 9 which frequently crashes and when it does it takes down the whole OS, no protected memory. I used to love macs........ how times change.

Judas · Oct 19, 2003, 11:44 AM

....lol...and my sister was going to pay 3000+ for one......hehe... boy did i save here (she was looking at one with OS9)... reason being is that the graphics school she taking at has all macs... and according to the teachers they are oh so much better then a any pc in everyways.... I know macs are that bad....but i have a distaste for people that use macs because "they are oh so much better and don't crash and can do so much more".... Not the comment just the attitude..

Zardon · Oct 19, 2003, 12:20 PM

well this thread is going somewhat off topic but ill just say one last thing, that I am not biased either way, ive been using macs long before PCs, actually from 1988 and V1 of photoshop and in those years, up to mid 90s... until V5 of Photoshop came out on the PC, macs where the top platform for graphics, but in 2003 with windows XP, protected memory, and V7 of photoshop and almost every other adobe application being just as good on the PC format as the mac I really would find it hard to recommend one anymore especially considering the pricing.

ive moved from macs to pcs and I can use both to an advanced level, MAC OS X is good but unfortunately in a professional environment alot of drivers and softwae still wont work perfectly well. but at least it has, finally protected memory, so if something crashes you can just quit it and not have to restart.

Intellitxt shows up here fine, fyi XP, IE6.

the bright yellow and double underlineing seems a bit much though. maybe remove the underlines and tone done to a less brigh yellow (or a single dotted underline ? to keep the emphesis)

btw. how do you get the ££$$€€ ?
when we click on the link and goto the site, Just having them here or when we actually use the service?
