September 30, 200223 yr Ok guys a couple of new stuff on Sim Spares this is a great place to get real parts and stuff for your sim go check it out http://www.t-b-x.com/prather/simspares/Don
October 2, 200223 yr Nice site/Concept but DAMN those popups are absolutely annoying! I got a popup ad for EACH mouseclick!That site needs a better host! Ray S. Check out my aviation portfolio: http://scottshangar.net
October 10, 200223 yr Ray,In the meantime, you might want to switch to a different browser. I'm using Mozilla which allows you to disable popups, windows that resize themselves or pop under other windows, etc. That combined with Junkbuster, Privoxy, or Proxomitron makes surfing a lot more enjoyable (and pages load faster without all the ad graphics).Peter http://bfu.avsim.net/sigpics/PeterR.gifBFU Forums Moderator[table border=2 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=1][tr][td][table border=0 cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0][tr][td bgcolor=#540000]http://bfu.avsim.net/sigpics/logo75t.gif[/td][td align="center" bgcolor=#FFFFF6]Bush Flying Unlimited"At home in the wild"Looking for adventure?

October 15, 200223 yr Hey Guys, The popups are actually due to the ezBoard service being free. If I convert the site to a "gold" site, there will be no more popups. However, this costs like $10/month. Not too bad, but I'm paying quite a bit to host my other web sites and domains. What I may do is open a "community chest". These allow browsers to donate small amounts which pay for the service to be add-less. Before I do that, I will upload more items. We're sitting on a few gems including some Citation stuff and some Korry switches/indicators :-)Best regards,Robert Pratherhttp://www.SimSpares.cjb.net
October 15, 200223 yr Hi Robert,Can you not host at AVSIM as a partner site? Surely less hassle.Chris
October 17, 200223 yr The problem isn't the physical web host. All the popups are being generated by the forum system itself. You are right though... if all the forums could be moved to AVSIM, it could work fine. But there are too many forums sections there to bother AVSIM. Once I start uploading new stuff, I will look into the community chest method and see how that works out. It would only take a few dollars a month to elliminate the ads, but first we need more content :-) Things are hectic here now, but hopefully by next week Sim Spares will be resurrected.Best regards,Robert PratherSim Spareshttp://www.SimSpares.cjb.nethttp://www.777Project.cjb.net
