Re: WHY ARE THERE ADS ON MY BOARD?
As far as I know all ads are still from Google. Where did you see this ad?

Re: WHY ARE THERE ADS ON MY BOARD?
I have them at my board, too.
My color scheme includes NO purple (though I love the color) but yet I am incresingly seeing this add that doesn't look like the old ones:

Carter we appreciate you sharing the image of the ad with us but your image included your IP address so I took the image out of your post.

Re: WHY ARE THERE ADS ON MY BOARD?
Showing everyone your IP address is a pretty bad idea. If you could crop the image and post it again so your IP address doesnt show...

Re: WHY ARE THERE ADS ON MY BOARD?
Are you talking about that purple cell phone addy?
I saw that on several boards, and it neither adapted the colors nor displayed a google text. I just kind of shrugged and went on, but I can understand that it would annoy some of you - especially with that color.

Re: WHY ARE THERE ADS ON MY BOARD?
I've put it there just for a few hours to test it out. I've taken it out now and this ad shouldn't be back.

I know spouzic. I wasn't being apathetic. It was more like "eh, whatever, I tried."

Re: WHY ARE THERE ADS ON MY BOARD?
For those of us that DO like credit cards, inclusion of a credit card option to pay is just about mandatory.
I suggest you look up:
http://www.mals-e.com and consider using Mal's totally FREE secure method of collecting credit card info. I have used it on many charity websites, and a commercial one too, for several years. Its a really well designed shopping cart with a secure card collection facility. It can be linked with PayPAl too I believe, but I have never done that. I'm not a fan of PayPal.
To avoid having to use PayPal, all you need to do it to organise a credit card merchant facility with your bank which allows you to submit manually obtained credit card details. That way YOU are in control of the collections, and Mal's site gives you and the user security for card number transmission all wrapped up in an attractive and customisable package.

Re: WHY ARE THERE ADS ON MY BOARD?
Thanks for the tip.
I do not want collecting credit card payments because at this time I do not have the financial power to deal with fraud and chargebacks. That's the main reason. It will change of course, over the course of time.
