I saw this rectangle(which I highlighted in red) in each thread that was made,and I was wondering what is this and what´s the poin of it?bcuz as far i´m concerned there are adds in the top of each thead,and the ones i saw it´s like they are occupying(?) a bit of space,anyways,here´s a pic of what I´m talking about in case no1 understands me:

Those are ads as well but only a test. I am probably going to leave them but make them viewable by guests only..

As for the triangle, yes that's the report a bad post button. You use that wehn you see someone making a post that breaks the rules. When you use it all the mods and admins get an email so it gets acted on quickly.

The computer thingis something that only mods/admins can see and shouldn't be shown (eh hem..).

Oh, its a "view ip" button. Thanks for being so active and answering our questions.

also, making them viewable only to guests could turn away some potentional members.

There will be a notice beside (or under) the ads that says something like "Click here to register to make these ads go away" or "If you were registered you wouldn't be seeing these ads."

So I'm hoping it will actually help gain more members

If not I'm flexible and I'll gladly remove them.
