Ahhhhh Jordan. GTP6 just could be around the corner. :eek: :P :D I read that vB3 will be released at the end of March. ;) I can't find the thread though. :mad: the vB support forums are run by vB3 already. ;) Yay. I'll continue my search. :rolleyes:
 
One of the pieces of evidence. (both quotes from vB forum)

What is the anticipated release time of Vbulletin 3.0.
1st quarter to summer of 2003
I guess it is gonna be in March OR April.

The best solution is to plan to go vB3 in April. Then you won't be disappointed when the second service release of vB3 comes out in February.

Best I can tell you it will be released in late spring or early summer. :P Look if you don't mind. http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/search.php?searchid=22130 :P

Yeah, I've read alot of speculation, but I will only be satisified with a real date for the final release version.
 
Well, Jordan says it won't be a whole new re-face, just a few additions to the site from vB3.

Cobraboy, I think you should go read the rest of this thread. Popups are now a guest-only feature.

Jordan, that's a FANTASTIC idea! A real incentive to get people to register. (Might have to plagiarise that one! ;) )

:odd: Eh? I still get ads. And its particulary (sp??) annoying for me whose computer takes 5 minutes too load up an IE window. But oh well, **** happens.

Are you sure you're logged in? Read my post to M5Power above and see if you see the banner code in the HTML.

The only other thing I have open is MSN.
 
When vB3 comes along, you better rename GTP 5 to GTP 5.01, Jordan! Grrr! :D

For that pro touch.

That's the code from the pop-up window, not the original page that you think the pop-up came from. However, from that code you posted, I can tell it is from MSN because the ad is being served from DoubleClick (who I am not using).
 
I got a question, Jordan do you need us to click on the advertisment and visit their website in order to get some type of credit, or by allowing them just to do that are you getting credit already?

Just making sure I am doing all I can to support the site! :)

No, the ad only needs to load completely before it is closed for me to get credit. You do not have to click on it. Thanks for your support, Magic! :)
 
Useful info! I have to be honest, I have been closing them before they are fully loaded! I will stop that, and let them load, then close it! 👍
 
I had one come up yesterday, I let it load fully. And at school several came up and I let them load fully.

Nothin like supporting GTP, thought the librarian finally kicked me out of there since I'm not doing "reserch"(She said "What does this have to do with school?" and I showed her the MAZ forum and explained what I did and how I'm a mod and resposability, she was impressed, but still kicked me out...after nearly a year of using the net at lunch. Figure that one out...).

If any more pop up I'll let them load fully and then close them.

Yeah, the code is now only on the front page of the site (https://www.gtplanet.net) and on threads (still, of course, only for guests and hopefully only once every 12 hours). Once you have fully loaded one pop-up, you won't have to let the others fully load because they only count your visit once every 12 hours (of course, the cookie should take care of that anyway).
 
Alright. Well, as revenge for the librarian kicking me out, if my dealing doesn't allow me to go on the net in there during lunch(I'm going to type up a paper with 101 ways that it's related to school and education and ask if I can use it still), I'll go up there, put all of the computers(just the PCs, the Macs have this login thing, so you can only log into 1) on GTP, and leave. That's about 12 pcs on GTP with the pop-ups.

Helps me and helps you. :)
