I now get ads on the forum. Is this by design? Happy to click through if it generates funds

I haven't made any changes to that

Is that just on the categories page?

Odd. At bottom of Categories page but also at top of Sports Talk page if I click through from Categories. Seems to disappear after that.
Not an issue at all, just hadn't seen ads after logging in before.

It looks like comments are showing on the front page if you use thesilverfern.com, but not if you use www.thesilverfern.com

That's a problem for tomorrow..

@crucial

I'll look into it..

We hover around break even so there might be a few more ads needed. I won't go crazy with it though

[Toddy]

@duluth more than happy to donate if a bit more is ever needed. Thanks for all the background work you fullas do.

Thanks, we appreciate the offer

We'll see where we are at in a couple of months. Maybe we will pass the cap around at that time.

My preference would be that we cover costs from ad revenue. I would prefer it if people 'donate' by creating content that we can put ads on.
Then the admins benefit by covering costs and the users benefit by having something interesting to read/argue about

[Kirwan]

Looking pretty slick, thanks for the effort in getting this up and running.

Works well on mobile.

I think I have this working now

[Stargazer]

Not a problem, just wondering: comments under a blog article show the most recent comment at the top, and the oldest comment at the bottom. In the forum threads, it's the other way around (my preference). Is that the design, or a setting people can change?

[Duluth]

@stargazer

Unfortunately it's not a setting

I would like to change it too. It's on my 'to do' list

[Kirwan]

Strangely, it’s still oldest at the top for me (mobile safari if that matters)

[Duluth]

@kirwan

Just tested on mobile safari.. still newest at the top

That suggests a user account setting? Strange.

[Bones]

When I send the unread page to home on android it still seems to open to the home page. Any ideas?

[Billy Tell]

My browsers say the website is "unsecure"...should I worry...???

Are you sure it didn't say 'Insecure'? A few posters on here may cause that.

Any chance this update will improve the chances of the Blues winning now..
