I'm testing out Project Wonderful ads. They're time-based, not click-based, which means less stress for me. I request, but do not require, that you disengage any ad-blocking software on zCh, in exchange for which I promise to only accept ads that aren't fugly, for stuff that doesn't suck ass.

Anyway, carry on.

I'm not sure if this is related, but since I came back from dinner, the site no longer fits horizontally across my window. Every other site seems normal, but this one no longer fits, so I now have a big horizontal scrolly-bar. Have I farked up firefox somehow? Or is it the ads, or... What?

No complaint, just wondering how I make this site fit again.

No, no, I can fix it. Just need to do a bit of jiggery-pokery. Give me a minute.

No, no, seriously, don't go to all that trouble for little old me. Honest, it's fine.

There. That's a little more resolution-flexible.

I keep forgetting that not everyone's got a horizontal resolution of 1,280 pixels or more.

Hey! Thanks! I really hope that didn't cause you any trouble.
If it interferes with the ad folks, by all means, do what you need to do for them.
Seriously. I'm just one dude, I'm not worth any extra effort.

But it is appreciated.  Heart

It took all of three minutes. I just had to alter some code and generate new ad blocks. Nothing to it.

By the way, the money from the ads will primarily go towards the cost of advertizing zCh, thus bringing in new users. I'm not looking to make my living from zCh, but not having to spend a bunch of cash to grow it would be nice.

Oh yeah, and if anyone feels the desire to toss me a buck or two via paypal to get the ball rolling on this ad campaign, I'm certainly not going to turn up my nose.

Let us know how many the Tales of MU ad pulls in?

I think it's really cool to have my ad next to yours ^_^

Remember... sex sells in advertising.  Maybe holding an art competition to make a sexy ad banner would be a fun forum game.  The winner could get a custom... something.
