Administrators Cory Posted February 26, 2021 Administrators Share Posted February 26, 2021 Hello everyone, you'll notice a new feature on topics. This is an algorithm that looks at what the threads are about and tries to show relevant products. This may help a few people, however I have implemented it as a means to hopefully encourage forum users to purchase with us as this forum grows. Thanks for understanding.

Garren Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 @Dancing Mattmine does the same thing and I have a Samsung s10. This is a new feature so I am sure there will be bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Yeah, I am waiting to see what the product recommendations are when inevitable 'anal prolapse' topic rears its ugly head again. Triple hat tip to @TheDukeAnumber1 for one of his many classic meme posts back on December 7 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 It will make things a lot easier when you are reccemedning a product like Ich X and instead of going to the aquarium co-op website and searching it up their, perhaps there might be a shortcut at the bottom of the post. @Daniel I loved that meme, defentley one of my favorites on the thread.

Daniel Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I am going for the jackpot! Can I manipulate the product recommendations to be hats all the way across? Here goes nothing. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Turn out, just like reactions, there apparently is a limit on hat recommendations. 😒 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FriendlyLoach Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I like the idea of advertising related topics, however I found it sort of distracting when they were at the top, the bottom is fine, but at the top it makes it feel a bit cluttered. I don't know though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 At first they were surprising, but now they are just blending in to the background for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriendlyLoach Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Yeah, I am sure I will get used to them soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 If we’re voting on placement I vote side bar instead of top, but I know I’ll get used to it so no big deal either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like them at the top either. 2 hours ago, Hobbit said: If we’re voting on placement I vote side bar instead of top, but I know I’ll get used to it so no big deal either way. I would much prefer having them in a side bar to at top. There's plenty of room (at least when on my desktop). On the side would probably be more visible than at bottom, but not as "in your face" as at top. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I don't want to scroll through ads to get to content on any site. The ads at the bottom felt like the videos... e.g. "by the way, we sell stuff that would be good for that". I thought that was a good idea.

CT_ Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Came here to echo those above. When I click a topic now the actual content isn't even visible. Its the webpage equivalent of a pebble in my shoe. It's just an annoyance though. top ads -1, ACO +1000 so on balance very happy to be here. I never use the sidebar though so I'd be much happier with it on the right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 ^ Agree. If the choice is CARE forum with top ads vs no CARE forum at all, I am definitely on board with the top ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingFishKeeper Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Honestly I really like the recommendations since if I'm needing to look at some product information related to a post I can go directly there through with just hitting the icon rather then going to a new tab then searching "AquariumCoop.com" then searching for the product. Just a small thing, but it's really nice (at least for me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JettsPapa Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I see the links moved back to the bottom of the page. Much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
