I loathe and detest ad banners.

But when you run a board where 50% 'unregistered users' use it, and you want to increase the amount of users you have registered, it might be worth experimenting with an ad banner for unregistered users only.

Enclosed is the code to do that: it's modifying two templates.


This is v2 of the code, with the following enhancements:
- Hide ad banners for users who have donated
- Bug fix: I didn't close the 'normalfont' tag!
- Force users to both register AND verify e-mail addresses

Plus, enhanced information for users, following feedback here


Good sources of ad banners are www.valueclick.com and www.advertwizard.com

How bout more feedback? How many of you who installed this hack actually think you're getting more members because of it?? I'm thinking about installing this, it seems worth a try.

Could this be modified to where only those that have made a donation can have the ads removed? I know you would have to manually add them to a usergroup if I wanted to do this, but that would be fine.

I added a usergroup call Contributing Members, but I am not sure of the # it is, such as an admin has a set usergroup number, as do mods, and super mods (I have not added any other usergroups).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

SaintDog

Very easy to fix: I'll do this later tonight for you.

I've updated the hack for you, as you'll see in the top message.

Just like your site, I now accept donations!
