How much revenue will you be sharing?

[sulasno]

will it work for vB 4.1.1

[solvemedia]

I have yet to test it in 4.1.1, but it does work in 4.1.0.

I forgot my password on one forum I visit using this plugin. I attempted to request a new password but this captcha would not recognize my email address. Strange because the forum sent me a email about a new private message.

If I make money with this, I'll do the Electric Slide to Celebration on my deck wearing my wife's bedroom shoes and bacon as a hat.

Okay, that's something I do all the time anyway, but I'm just sayin'...

How much revenue will you be sharing?

Currently, the way that we compensate most publishers is based on a revenue share (60/40 ~ Solve Media/Publisher).

And this is paid out through PayPal, or some other method? I didn't get a chance to check that out last night. I did do a few test runs and registration seemed to be working normally.

US publishers are paid by check or through PayPal. Foreign publishers are paid through PayPal.

Alright, thanks. If it works, seems like a non-obtrusive way to run adverts. And I generally hate running adverts.

Our plugin has nothing to do with recognizing email addresses.

So wait, it makes them take a survey? I'm really confused.

No, it uses advertisements as CAPTCHA. Meaning, you type in something from the ad image, just as you would the squiggly image. Just watch the video: http://www.solvemedia.com/

We have various creatives in our system. Some of which involve market research. However, users don't have to do anything other than type in a short message. The survey is optional and not at all required to proceed.

Version 1.0.5 of the mod is now available.
