How do I view the ads?

Here's what a commercial post looks like when you are not upgraded, or in fact not logged in at all.

Note that the bold text at the bottom tells you that you need to both log in and upgrade.

And here is what that same post looks like once you have followed the advice of the text above and logged in and upgraded [1]. The commercials are quicktime and do not autoplay, so you have to start the film yourself. This was suggested by an adgrunt who surfed on a slower modem and had the habit of opening a few windows at a time to allow ads to load fully before watching them. We think it works nicely.

Occasionally people who surf and have aggressivly caching proxies between us and their computer may receive a cached page - ie; the same exact page they just looked at before upgrading - instead of the current page. To remedy this you can force any browser to fetch a new (uncached) page by holding the shift key down and hitting reload. Aggressivly caching proxies are sometimes used at offices or schools where many people have access to the internet through the same pipe to cut down on the bandwidth spend.

remember you need Quicktime [2] - you probably already have it, jus' saying.
