When the views are all viewed, we all get the ads. Personally, I've contributed three or four times over the last few years and I'll contribute in a few weeks when I actually start working again. Meantime, other folks can contribute or we'll just live with the ads.

It looks like you also get credit for yourself for any forum on yuku. Something like 1 month for every $5us you give toward the CHFB. The remove ads link seems to go to the personal side, where you personally don't see ads, but that doesn't help anyone else on the CHFB. Seems way better to me to spend it on CHFB. $60us/year gets both. In the past, I was anteing up something--even just $6 once--whenever I saw ads. The problem is, the page views could run out for other folks and I still don't see the ads, so I don't even know to ante up again. I like the personal thing because it also lets me view up to 100 posts per page, even though it messes up the occasional link. Rick, I know what you mean. Haven't anted up in a while, but started working again last week, so it was time. Hope you're ... ahem... paid up here, too. Guide to Resources on CHFB

Aug 10 12 8:57 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	So I have to basically get a subscription to Yuku for $7 for 6 mos or 12 bucks a year so I don`t have to sign in everytime I come to the CHFB & I won`t see anymore ads. I guess I`ll pass for now tho signing in everytime is getting really annoying.

Aug 10 12 9:21 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Not being signed in is because of your browser and cookies and cookie expiration times and some yuku weirdness. Nothing to do with paying. If your browser saves passwords for the site, you should have those fields populated and you just need to click. Mostly. But it shouldn't happen every day. More like once or twice a month. My current login cookie on firefox expires in 10 days. But don't ask me when it gets updated. For subscribing, you have three options: contribute to CHFB and everyone at CHFB gets some ad free time. Plus, part of your contribution buys you a personal subscription for all of yuku. (As if we care about the rest of yuku.) I choose this option (when I can afford it) because I get a lot out of the CHFB, and this is a nice way to give a little something back to the members who contribute content and answers, which is a way better contribution than removing ads. This is where you go from the main forum page when you click the "Contribute Now!" link next to the "View Contributor" link that still doesn't work. Subscribe for yourself, and only get rid of ads for yourself. That's where the "remove ad" link goes. Personally, I consider this option a waste of money. Keep your money and mooch off everyone else. This seems to be the most popular option. Best of all, you still get to complain about the ads. And as a bonus, it slights and irks those who do contribute. Of course, this option does mean seeing ads more often. Guide to Resources on CHFB Last Edited By: SiBurning Aug 10 12 9:37 PM. Edited 11 times.

Aug 10 12 11:48 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	It used to be once and awhile fo me as well for signing in and then about a month ago it just changed to everyday. I`ve tried searching for a solution and came up with nothing. The contribution link has also disappeared . I used to contribute almost everytime ads would appear but now I can find no link except the subscription to Yuku crap.

Aug 11 12 8:03 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Finally got the logging in every time problem fixed. Now all the icons like for posting a photo are missing at the top of the blank posting box. What could be the reason for that?

One thing I notice is that that box loads separately, so it might be a javascript problem (maybe a setting?) in your browser. Or maybe you're using an old browser or some other browser that's having trouble with stuff. Guide to Resources on CHFB

Aug 27 12 3:26 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	After searching and searching I stumbled on how to fix the problem. And I was having trouble with Flashplayer for more then 6-months. Just updated to the 11.4 player a couple days ago & some of the problems were solved. Now I activated Google Chrome & all the Flashplayer problems are now fixed. Man. what a relief that is over. It was to the point I couldn`t watch videos members embedded & even on YouTube. . Last Edited By: rvoyttbots Aug 28 12 4:32 PM. Edited 2 times.
