In the meantime, I swapped the stickys over.

No promotion of business interests

This is a bit of joke considering the amount of sigs with commercial ventures linked to. Admitedly, it hads been a month or so, so perhaps the rule has been applied to everyone.

I have a few non-commercial sites that I built but was informed it was pimping to display them in my sig. Yet so many others do it. Never was clear about this and gave up after several attempts to contact the Mods team. Surely all sites are gaining in some fashion if you link to them, non-commercial or otherwise. What harm a parenting forum can do to OcUK is beyond me but a link to someone running a pc hardware business is obvious.

Yell at me if you spot any commercial links, I'm always on the look-out

Well when my sig for www.largefamilies.co.uk (oops) was removed after several months of unremarkable existence, I decided to take a look to see if the rule was being applied to everyone. I visited only one thread and found eight iirc that linked to sites with forums or in a few cases, directly to what OcUK deems 'competitor' sites. I sent the e-mail and examples several times but never received a reply. In hindsight, I'm glad as I didn't want to appear like a whinger or sad git for making such an effort.

I know the mod staff have a huge job to do and can't spot everything but some of these sigs belong to members with thousands of posts and I can't believe they've been missed.

Anyway, rant over. I feel much better and if I slip back into a foul mood anytime soon, I'll squeal, happy in the knowledge that I've made someone feel as ****** off as me in having the sig removed

Still an explanation would be appreciated.

Where did you e-mail? RTM is the best way, then e-mailing someone, then using MSN

EirePlane - Yours is an empty index, so I won't add it. EDIT: Although, it looks like you're installing WordPress, so if you get a website on it I'll add it.

Seek - There are already forums linked in the list so I'll add yours. Going on what Dried Graze has said, though, I'm not sure if other forums are deemed to be competitors or if it's because he has google adsense on it. Maybe Berserker could clear this up?

i'm a bit confused. if you're banning websites which have forums or adsense then you may as well just ban sites which have text+images.

the majority of sites will have forums and/or adsense these days.

Auto-grab the favicon, or get the thumbshot of the front-page. Or alternatively allowing a small image to be submitted might be nice.

Little previews added

 

[Mr_L]

Very good. Just added mine to test it out.

 

[robjf]

Well done mate this could be quite useful!

Thought id point out that the bandwidth has been exceeded on twobeds according its thumbnail on the website page

 

[toString]

Heh, top notch file uploader that is

Nice work on the thumbnails though, nifty.

 

[Gman]

looking good, had a little go but managed to screw up mu entry oh well waiting for the edit feature now to fix it.

Gets a bit nasty if you hover your mouse over the end of 'OC Host Review' (@ 1024x768) though. Tried on FF 1.5 and IE6.

Whoever added the link to 'Walker Designs' seems to have made a slight mistake. It'll probably be a good idea to check for error that in the script and 'fix' it (it's so common).

Oh, and nice capture of Twobeds.

 

[Beansprout]

^ All sorted

Twobeds might also get a proper screenshot eventually

Edit features will probably arrive tomorrow, since I sort-of have work to do about 7 hrs ago

Will see about that

Now that's pretty cool!

Site added.

Beansprout - I think it might be worth while if you change change the order that sites are listed so it is sorted by OCUK username, as if someone wants to find a members site it would make things a bit easier.

I'll be adding the sorting stuff in, no problemo

Has somebody been abusing twobeds again?

Ah, reloaded the page and now I've got two entires!
