External link's ad system is not working
I just noticed that there is supposed to be a new ad when you click in a link that send you out of Apoly, but the ad isn't displaying correctly in my computer!
My System:
Windows XP with security patchs but no the whole Service Pack1
IE 6.0.2600

I had one that was blank too. The rest of the time I have had ads. I think this is a really good idea btw.

Good idea yeah...but 15 seconds is a bit long IMO. 8 would be better.
With 15 you get too many people just clicking by without actually looking at the ad.

is there a way to have it so it doesn't kill links?
using mozilla, if you try to click on a link that has a google search already in the link, this ad clears it.
see here:
http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...hreadid=103148
it's in my post near the bottom.

I got this screen today without images(I've used externals links only once since this came), and I waited for ages without the screen disappearing... I had to click the skip link to go beyond it.

now that's an issue to consider...
i've seen it in some apolyton links(attachments, directory links) and have put work-arounds for the error, but it seems a much better aproach is required...

What you SHOULD do is have this redirect page that shows...10 ads for each external link, but only lasts 5 seconds
Anyway,I use Google toolbar so I never saw the popups

Nope, not fixed.  Attempting to d/l the Sounds for Bitterfrost [Edit: link to thread] yields the "You have tried to link to an image on our site" warning and no zip file.

most.annoying.ad.ever, but it seems like a lot of site are adopting the (terrible) idea. Along with the "Ad when switching between subdomains".
p.s. The navbar on your top40-charts.com displays incorrectly (off center) in moz1.5/winxp.
[edit] IE too.

Nooooooooooo!!! Please don't! 
They do that on some sites, like CFC, or IGN, where you come to the site and the first thing you see is a full-page ad. It sucks so bad! It's hundred times worse than a pop-up! Please, please, please don't do it. 
Hehe
