I've said the same thing before - unregistered visitors (who don't use an ad-blocker) are surely put off by the number of ads. They're distracting and even overwhelming and seem to be more prevalent than the site's main content.

Okay, got it. At least I'm not full anymore ! I'm curious, when you "leave" a conversation, are they still on the system but inaccessible to the user and doesn't count against their quota ? I don't care if that's the case, just wondering based on the term "leave". Sure sounds like this is the...

My PM mailbox is full (way overcapacity actually !) and I don't see how to delete old PMs. I can "leave" a conversation, mark it read or unread, star it, etc, etc but no delete/remove. How do you do it ?

Is there any members that are local that could go and “represent” SatelliteGuys ? Would be a lot cheaper....

"Mobile" is under devices so no distinction to the type of browser. It should include the SatGuys app and browsers such as Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc. By the same token, under "Browser", Chrome probably includes computers and mobile devices. Same should apply to Safari and Firefox. Heh, I...

You missed the point. I'm aware that these things have been sold in the past but it's not an ongoing thing, i.e. there's no "Online store" link up above. That would typically require purchasing quantities of coffee mugs and hoping they sell. Shirts are even worse since there's multiple sizes...

Why not just use Chrome with an ad-blocker ? Well, technically you already are but someone just changed the name....

I'm surprised how high Opera usage is. Who uses Opera anymore ? And why ?

In the grand scheme of things, at least compared to US visitors, they average about 1/2 of 1% for each country. Not counting Canada in that, of course. Not counting Germany either as those numbers seem odd - more visitors from Germany than Canada ? Maybe many of the bots pretend to be from there....

Websites have very limited options for generating revenue. The three most common are sponsorships (from businesses), ads and membership fees. A third would be selling "stuff" - t-shirts, hats, drinking glasses, etc. Personally, I think that 3rd option is a big mistake. Sure, people will say...

At the end of the day, page visits / views are what matters. Google, the ad agencies, etc don't give a **** what section a user visits. Plus, Scott has encouraged the growth of the site to be more than just a satellite-TV focused.

Scott simply hasn't added a separate link yet. The function is definitely there though. New posts - https://beta.satelliteguys.us/xen/whats-new/posts Recent posts (?) - Latest activity

Heh, never considered that ! I use the 50-posts-per-page viewing option too. If you eliminated that or others I'd understand why.

Did Xenforo 2.x integrate any of the plug-ins into the core system ? Kind of a sh*tty thing to do especially if the plug-in author was making $ from the plug-in but I know it happens with other software.

Personally, I think a fixed font size for posts would be just fine. Allow bold and italic when people need to make an emphasis.

You could put "G" or "B" on ignore - makes life much more pleasant !

Of course they're saying that - they want people who aren't going to re-consider, thinking that it's going to be a big deal and they'll miss something.

What ? When did that happen ?

At the end of the day, I'd hope people don't need a "news ticker" to remind them to donate....

Comparing it to a couple other styles, it actually looks to be the same font. I suspect it's the white background that makes the font stand out more. I normally use the 'classic' style (blue background) or the '2017' style (gray background).

I like the overall look or style but I'm not a fan of the font. Looks like Helvetica (?).

If you're a Pub Member, which you are, running an ad-blocker doesn't "hurt" the site (disabling it doesn't make a difference either). Well, unless you browse the site w/o being logged in sometimes.

Just for fun, try it.... What's the harm ? You might be surprised.

Do you have a router ? If so, do you know how to change the MAC address ? Write down your current address, change it something else, reboot the modem and router, and try again. Traceroutes aren't reliable either. Mine stops at ae8.cr4-was1.ip4.gtt.net, well, whatever the hop after it is, but I...
