And don't tell me anybody that there is the link "Details" at the end, because you know that nobody clicks the links. What it stays in memory is what the eye have seen.
So, specific text "Quizz by DBT, or Gallery by DBT". But never "Site is powered by DBT".

Users have the option of displaying the mods individually linked in the footer condensed to one line (as much as possible) instead of the "site powered by..." text :)

Feel free to request people who use your mods use THAT setting instead of the "Site powerered by..." setting, i'm sure your users will be more than happy to accommodate you :)

I knew a few really nice and smart Indians. :)

The half "kick" was for you ...lol... The other half was for Iain because I was expecting from him a reply "What bad have the 3nd level countries" and not "We are 1 in UK and 6 in USA", even in case that is true.

I'm glad seeing that the counter for the 2nd choice in poll is growing while the 3nd left only with DBT's vote. I believe that day by day when ther other coders will get the real meaning of this discussion and start participating to it, DBT will change mind. Because currently is talking to us like talking not to coders but to novice PC users. How you succeeded to make that 4 lines of code difficult work it's something that only in marketing seminars you can learn.

But people rarely care and listen to such requests. People just press install and forget about it. And with your dozens of mods and a few mods of Chris the chance your favored option will stay there turned on by default is bigger.

So it's like: "Ask them and maybe 1 within 100 will do it if you will be lucky hahaha".

Actually our preferred option is all of the mods listed in the footer as well, it gives us much more visibility :) It's the users who prefer the "site powered by" text. That's why it's in there.

Christos, neither the DBTech account, nor any of our coders accounts, have voted for option 3.

This isn't the first time in this thread you have invented something that is completely untrue to try to make us look bad.

Please stop it, you're better than that and it's unbecoming of you.

Iain

Please can you talk like a coder and not like a salesman. Yes I know that users have this choice. I tried it. And with just 3 mods the 1 line copyright became 2 lines copyright. So, even if the user tries it, will return to "Site is powered...". And offcourse the user does not cares for me.
So Mr Salesman. Do you know what are you talking about? You're telling me that if I add code that will destroys your server and have the user decide if he clicks the "Fire" or not, who is the guilty? The user? or me?
PS- Hope that you understand that is just an example.

And a user who has a choice to chose between his forum footer stuffed with dozen of links and 1 link what will chose?
It seems logical what he/she will chose. And perhaps other mods authors have no time to monitor if their links are there or not.
You're trying to defeat your business which is obviously wrong to everyone.

We're trying to provide the best possible service to the users. That's it. If we were purely trying to do what's best for us the condensed option wouldn't be in there, because it's less effective for us. :)

Sh*t, in that case I'm going to buy an automatic high-caliber riffle tomorrow and shoot all the rats in my shop, I don't care the bullets will go through the walls and kill all my competitors around because that's what is best possible service to my users. :)

Cool. The cops might care though, better get an alibi in order!

You still do not understand or you don't want to understand or you don't want to admit that you understand you are wrong.
