They also know about your last search for big boobies and curly red hair, so watch out, what screenshots you do :lol: :D
A german Mayor didn´t! In a twitter discussion he wanted to show an article of our Laws and made a screenshot, not remembering, the a few minutes ago he opened 5 tabs in his browser about BDSM :lol:

Hi all.
I did intend to put an ad on the forum since day one but I did not know how to do it,
This one advert will pay for the running of the forum and also ensure my kids will keep up with the hostgator and domain registration bills to keep the forum running if anything should happen to me as I intend to be spending a lot of time at sea very soon.

So today I met up with Winston, he is a down on his luck and out of work php computer programmer that also lives here in the marina and he installed the ad code and removed the now defunct link to the auction site from the top of every forum page.
Then we tested the forum on his computer, went to the home page, an ad appears, its from a very local computer company desperately looking for a programmer, So I got my first click and Winston is filling out his job application. :D

With the advert working, I now have to log-in every time, it seems the advert is wiping away my remembered username and password.

...now I'm in, navigation around the threads is awful, when I get onto a page, they all drop down far enough for an advert to appear at the top, but because I block them, there is just a big empty space. When the advert does not appear, the pages index all jump up to their usual position, very annoying and time consuming.
