Members and their hosted sites may choose from either a standard 468x60 banner ad or a 120x600 skyscraper ad. You can mix and match ad types between pages, but please don't put more than one ad on any particular page. For more information, and the new Skyscraper HTML code, head over to the Ad Code page. We are still having some trouble with the Nozone Advertising servers, so there may continue to be blank advertising frames on your sites from time to time. There is no need to worry about this, as it is not a violation of our terms. Rob Hill is working hard to get our chat server back up and running. The groundwork is now in place. More updates will come soon. I'd like to thank Dave from ph33net.com for some suggestions that should optimize the performance of MySQL for our system. After some quick checking, the performance does seem to be improved. Please watch for any complications and I'll see what I can do. I am currently researching another suggestion from Dave that should is supposed to optimize PHP. Look for updates on that in the near future. Thanks to Allowee for pointing out discrepancies in the version numbers of Apache on our servers after the update. Everything seems to now be where it should be, Apache 1.3.28 and PHP 4.3.3. I am still behind on hosting applications. I will attempt to process as many as possible tomorrow and Sunday. That should do it. Enjoy your weekend!</div>
