Thanks OB, that means at least I have the permissions set correctly.

I see them Mick, but would a banner be better for the shopping link to help with the site costs?

Thanks Howard, but there should already be a banner at the top of this forum, if you scroll up. 

Sorry Steve, I seem to have hijacked your thread.  Let me know if you want it cleaned up.

Don't worry about it Mick, it's no problem.

I agree with OB and Hinfrance that the links and banners need to be more prominent. If I'd have seen them yesterday I wouldn;t have bothered looking on Warehouse Express, Amazon, eBay etc - I'd have gone straight to the CC shop first to look.

Personally, having a link to a CC shop gives you more reason to enhance the banners and links as it is something that benefits everyone on the site so you can make them bigger and stand out more.

Thanks for the feedback. I have added another (slightly bigger) one at the bottom of the pages.  To be honest I don't like putting adds on the site at all, I know how much they can annoy people, that's why I never push them.

That all said, I don't think any of my adds have earned anything yet (at all), with exception to Google addsense, which has raked in a massive £60 over a total of four years.  I would use more of those, but they don't let you choose the content, and anything can show in their adds. 

If anyone has any tips on this stuff, it would be appreciated.

Well, you lost a sale on 4 x 8gb Sandisk Extreme CF cards, 3x 4packs  7day shop AA rechargeable batteries, 2 books on photography and Photoshop editing, and a few bits of software.

We are not in favour of fighting the adverts to get to the site, but we are aware that you do not have the resources of Future Publishing to fund this site. I think you can have a banner on the front page some where to help. Also, where threads like this one come to being, you could pop in and remind people of the amazon price through this site!

There should be link and banner down the L/H side of home page, and a banner at the bottom, I've also added a "CC Shop" button to the main menu.
