I am going to take a shot in the dark, and guess that the issue is the lack of the banner ad which was discussed previously in the interview. I still haven't received a reply about more compatible banner options which I have even posted in a thread in the suggestion forums regarding new dimensions.

Sorry but we only have the 2 sizes. You're going to have to work around one of them.

Alright, I still would suggest adding them in Eli.

But eh I'm completely against ads so what the hell, I'll upgrade to the Adfree package. All I need is the know how to upgrade from my current package.

Just sign up at https://vlexofree.co.../order.php  and I will do the rest.

Doesn't seem to be reading my current account ID, wouldn't it be easier to just use paypal?

You have to create a new account when going through the process.

Done. Anyway as far as some suggestions. You need to add the password insert text-field in the initial link page as it is a security risk.

Also if ya could add a description about the two payment methods it would definitely help. Finally instead of making them fill out an informational form why not just use the paypal token to do it?

If you dont mind my ignorance, what do you mean?

About the description, I would assume people who have a paypal would know subscription implies recurring payments and regular button is a one time payment. But none the less, i added a description.

about the paypal token, Im not a developer/programer and just use the software as is.. If you think it could be improved then describe what would make it better and I can tell the developers of it.

In the original clickthrough link, where it asks Domain and Password. The password box is input type="text" not type="password". Which is a security risk as the field can be cached and sourced.

As far as the token, tell your developers to read up on the paypal API. On a purchase it returns a token to a url which can then be processed through server-side PHP to get all the relative client information, and purchase information. There are tutorials available through PayPal about the API.

Yeah your right. I submitted a bug report to them.

When I first got the software I complained to them about their use of plain text passwords. They then told me its not a bug but a feature and if I wanted to have things encrypted that I would have to edit the modules myself to include encryption. A bunch of idiots in my opinion. Specially for software that costs $175..

If you want me to do it's virtually 2 lines of code. Or I could make a unique encryption.
