Mark, replace pop-ups with those interstitials you were talking about.

Agreed - would that pay all right? I mean once every six hours would not be too bad and I would not have to close a window. I would even take it once every time I get on or every two hours or something. I do not mind interstitials because they go off the screen after a few seconds without me having to take care of them.
Ah I see. So the fact that I am using Ultra light is actually good for you because I have not bought anything off those links. Good to know. When I look at buying something online, I will make sure to click those links to check prices but I usually can find things cheaper at Canadian software vendors because of the US/Canada exchange rate.

BTW, Markos, under Mozilla, I have to adjust zoom level all the time, cause Apolyton looks darn small.

Hey Markos - despite my loathing of pop-ups I can definitely live with the new styles...

I like it too. But there appears to be no Light Ultra-Special CtP2 style in the top-of-page drop-down menu

Light Ultra-Special is now my favourite style!
No more banner ads (that didn't help you anyway)

Must admit, I like the new style so far... but then again, I don't think I've had even a single pop-up yet while browsing the forums (I get plenty when visiting the rest of the site/downloading/clicking external links though)...

Same here, agree with Locutus. Not a single pop-up. No banners, no popups, gotta love it  .

What am I doing wrong? I got 3 popups yesterday during an undetermined number of hours yesterday. Probably had to do with the fact I changed styles a few times, and also used external links.

Markos, would it be possible to make a table listing what each of the styles has regarding features, such as whether buttons on each persons post are text or graphic, or if the last person to reply to a thread is shown?
In a related question, what ULTRA-SPECIAL style allows you to see the name of the last person who posted in a thread?

Skanky - any non-light style, like Default Ultra Special.
Markos: now I've also changed style in my options, no longer using the dropdown menu at front page... and haven't still seen a popup. Yay!

you mean on the light style?
well it's supposed to be light

But Mark, couldn't it still be light?
Lets say:
Rate this thread- Disabled
The Little Lights showing who's online- Disabled
however;
Who posted last in which thread- Enabled.
For a certain light using-
I think I'd use it if you'd create it- just a suggestion, you don't have to do it if you don't want to 
But I think I'd use It- others may as well.

Oh and just to let you know that I'm up on forum updates- I like the Go (N)... as opposed to Go (New)  for the news

I'd love a style like DC suggests. That would be pretty much perfect for me. And others.

well i finally realised that in my effort to make pop-ups not appear on the front forum page(and thus not get an annoying banner on your welcome screen!  ) i had made it so that you could get the cookie set but not the banner
now it's fixed

I'm using Civ 3 Ultra Special, and I must say that I like it. 
I have a pop-up killer on, so it makes me feel kind of dirty, cheating the system like this though. 
And I will miss Hillary lecturing me about Apolyton ware! *sniffles*
Btw, Markos that table looks really really bright 
White text on white background. It's probably just IE, but I thought I'd let you know.

Markos: Table is very bright, that's one thing.
However, please tell, why have I STILL not seen a single pop-up? Is it the new "Staff Member" style - no banners, no popups?

Yes, and I do get Apolyton redirect popups and all kinds of popups at other sites.

I must be getting yours. Today when I logged into the main page I got a popup and then on the forum page I got one. First time it has happened since the switch. Not a problem but I think I found your popup Solver.

Given that you got to browse for 12 hours to get a third popup, I don't think that even you browse this much usually... I also feel satisfied by 2 popups in my browsing, for 10 or so hours here... but sometimes it's more, still.
In any case, I second Ming's
