Orange text-ads


Recommended Posts

It's 3 orange words per page. Is that really too much?

Just so you all know. They will be implemented on the main page. Probably 5 words per page. I'm looking into a way to disable the links per user.

Instead of finding out how to disable by user, you should find away to make them work in other browsers other then IE.

Come on people a few banner adds and a few orange words really is not that bad. If the admins wanted to they could start charging fee's. I know of a few forums that if you want to have custom ava or sig you have to pay money. Thats something we can all agree we don't want here on neowin.

I'd pay not to see those text ads, although I'd sooner pay not to see the over powering banner ads. google ads I don't mind for some reason (I do use them myself), I just wish there was some way to change the font size on the goggle stuff.

I have 3 subscriptions to sites I visit daily that removes the ads.

(Oh and I'd pay even more to have the facility to remove the moronic, 2Mb images from people's sigantures on the board - yes I know I can in settings, but I'd pay for that if it wasn't there!)

Redmak, I would recommend finding a way to disable them per group, then utilize the Subscription Manager to sell a premium membership that removes the text link ads for that group. ;)

That would be pointless as anyone who doesn't want them can just block out itxt.vibrantmedia.com in their HOSTS file, thus defeating the purpose. I'd much rather have people donate to Neowin than buy some stupid ad blocking service. Plus, once they add a subscription thing, all the sites just want to block off more and more of the site from non-subscribers. See the problem?

You can also warez software but it doesn't make it right to do it. ;)

I'm just saying that it may be an idea to provide an "ad-free Neowin" for people that are willing to purchase the service. It's not like nobody else has ever done it. :rolleyes:

I'm not saying that "customer only" forums should be created, it would just be a good way for people to get something tangible for their donations which would spur more people into donating. As nice as it would be to think that people are good about giving without any thought of what they may receive in return, it just doesn't work that way for the masses. If they provide a simple service (such as ad removal from the site), they'll realize an increase in "donations". ;)

How is it annoying, it just colours key words, hardly obtrusive. Is it that much of a hassle to you? It shouldnt matter how much, or little, Neowin makes from it. Its their server they can do as they wish. I personally click the links every now and again as it creates revenue to keep this site going, and if your paranoid about it saving cookies etc just use AdAware etc to clean them.

Neowin has to generate revenue to keep ther servers going ie bandwidth etc, with so many members visiting each day etc thats an awful lot of traffic. And at least Neowin arent as in your face with advertising like some sites I could mention, eith pop-ups, pop-unders etc.

Is it just on my system (because of some spyware) or does everyone see this?

On the front page and on some forum messages, it appears that key words like Microsoft and Display get turned in to hot links.

How is this being done and why?

Also in the source of Neowin (at the bottom) I see this:

<style type="text/css">
.iTt{

}
</style>
<span id="iTt" class="iTt" style="visibility:hidden;position:absolute;"></span>

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
