It is absolutely the RegKing registry hack that is not allowing you to see the mobile forums. Our templates are dynamic and when your browser visits it says "Hello, I'm IE6" so you get the desktop version. Our code is doing exactly what it's supposed to do.

However, here's what I will do: I'll talk to Fabrizio about looking for a second level of detection, something other than the browser user agent string, to see if there's a way we can more deeply identify the mobile device and dish up the mobile forums.

We expect to launch one new site before the end of the year - right now it's a toss-up between two new sites, but I'm not ready to talk about it publicly yet. ;-)

I find it very distracting, as it looks just like the "page loading" flag, and I end up waiting a few second longer for the page to finish loading.

With all due respect Surur I don't understand how you can mistaken the "sponsored by" logo for the animated logo.

Quick question about that -- does the one per year apply to any other benefits? And what about Lifetime/Deluxe subscribers, do they get to partake annually in the Vaja coupon goodness?

More curiosity than anything.

Thanks for continuing to make ThoughtsMedia such a great family of sites!

Thank you. I couldn't ask for more.

Lifetime subscribers can get the Vaja coupons each year, the free PDAmill game each year, etc. The micro-light is a one-time thing though. ;-)

Not only do you have a great family of sites, but you are exceedingly generous as well!

Well, it does look the same, doesnt it, and I did say only a few seconds. Either way, my mobile access is not being sposored by anyone, its one of the features I've paid for, so I would prefer if it was gone. On a PC I could have ad-blocked it, but this is not available on the ppc. Lack of ads is one of the reasons why I subscribed in the first place.
