Actually, I do browse more than 12 hours a day. I always have Apolyton up on the computer in the background, and check in every once in awhile. So unless I'm sleeping... That's why I'm surprised I've only see 2 pop ups per day so far

More than 12 hours? Well, if I had 5 computers at home . But you know, some people do also sometimes quit their house and do other stuff /

Markos: 12/6 != 6.

When you start you get a popup. So you get the second one with 6 hours of browsing, and the third after 12 hours. So if you've browsed for your 12th hour, you should see a third popup - so Ming should get three.

Hey MarkG, why not give us some "Fun" styles that are more casual and have some cool effects! These would most likely appeal to the younger generation.

The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

I'm also getting no popups under ultra-special, but I've only been using it for 3 hours.

if you were using a (simple) special style before you probably had a longer-duration cookie already therefore you shouldnt get a pop-up immediately after the change

Solver- that's probably because you have Mozilla- I think that browser kills popups

Not by default. It actually isn't that easy to find as I recall when I once used it. The other thing that Mozilla allows you to do is manage what sites you allow popups from. You can set it to block all popups except from Apolyton if you would like. Hey, Markos that would be a suggestion, post how that can be accomplished with Mozilla and suggest people get the Apolyton browser of choice.

That's fast Marcos but I am only afraid on the front page, light speaceal is know the style that is used for guest and for the ones who aren't logged in. So with Netscape 4.78 the loading time of some of the forum pages takes forever the only mean is to close Netscape 4.78 and kill the program in the memory with Ctrl + Alt + Del. Yes even the Netscape window is closed the program stays on my computer running (I guess it is some buggy java code or something like this). Once I did it to the fron page and switched to CTP2-Default I can browse the forum pages without any problems with Netscape 4.78, the same thing is true once I am logged in but actual I don't wan't to see a page that I have to log in and then a page that I successfully logged in...

Therefore a small request if you can screw up the forum pages with a quick registration then it should also possible for you to put on every forum table of content a quick log in like the quick registration. Something like on the forum front page: Not cookied?... Yes I am not cookied and I won't be cookied.

And another idea it would be also nice to have a style chooser not only on the front page but also on every main forum page. (One for each CTP2 and one for the Apolyton Community forum and so on.)

When I used the light special, the best I got was 9 sec... With Default, about 20

martin,

i'll look into adding the login form into more pages

beyond that, you can enter any forums page with the style of your choice. simply change your bookmarks to include this: styleid=6 (6 is the number of the default-ctp2 style)
examples
http://apolyton.net/forums/index.php?styleid=6 (main page)
http://apolyton.net/forums/forumdisp...=109&styleid=6 (ctp2 general forum)

Actual I don't use any bookmarks just the links from Apolyton CS Forums Mailer, to access the new posts directly. That would be a little bit more time consuming to edit every time the link when I copy it to my browser. Shure with the time I would get used to it, but that would also be a nice addition (if possible) to the forums, if the links that sends me the forum mailer would contain my favorite style. Of course only if cookies are disabled in the profile.

Markos,

I am getting a lot of popups now in the forums as I browse. Not just once per six hours and not when I am leaving the forums. Just at random times when I click on the second page or on a reply. Or when I go to a different thread. Just kind of random. I will try to let you know if I see a pattern.

I get the same thing here. Random. And quite frequently, too.

On the front page you can 'test' the different styles, or set your default style in your control panel.
