I have added a test banner up the top of the page. What do you guys think?

With this module I can supply stats like how many times the banner has been clicked etc

In that format it is pretty unobtrusive, but what happens if you get multipal sponsors ?

I'm of two minds.

Got a few different options I guess. The common option is to just randomly display the different banners in the selected location. Its also possible to display different banners in different locations. I like the first option myself.

[ShaneJ]

Just for your interest, this is the kind of stats I can give:

Banner Name      Impressions Made      Impressions Left      Clicks      % Clicks
Tool King                 1783                                      unlimited                       4                   0.224

Banner Name: The name of the advertiser
Impressions Made: The number of times the banner has been loaded/displayed to the page viewer
Impressions Left: The advertiser can purchase a number of impressions
Clicks: The number of times the banner has been clicked on
% Clicks: the ratio of clicks to impressions

I am a little teensy weensy concerned that this site is developing into something it was not intended to be, commercialism in its entirety belongs elsewhere, just be mindful what occurred regarding the N.Z. fibreglass saga and how it had adversely affected loyal and valued contributors.

I kinda feel the same Eddy although I'm not in the best frame of mind at the moment to comment on it too much. I had hopes to getting a professional template for the site and forums eventually and this all cost money. As does the hosting and domain leasing. Currently I'm forking out for the hosting which is currently about $125 for the year so not expensive but some donations would be appreciated specially now I'm out of a job for a bit

Sorry to hear about your working life  Shane.

On another site I visit, they have donating members, not much difference in what they can do, add personal avatars I think, but they do get a tag that highlights them as a donating member.


I'm happy to contribute to the running of this site in any one way I can, donating some buks is an easy way of doing it :d
