Adding an a dditional MessageBox won't change anything to the complinas... if you consider all the warnings and "anti-click next" protections that are already in place, you'll see that adding more would probably notchange the number of users who install the sponsor by error. I'm still working on some little adjustements for version 3.40 though so that even less people complain .

Lol I didn't even notice the 'anti-click next' thing until you mentioned it. So, if I, a normal user, didn't even notice it, how could it prevent much at all?

But oh well, your program, your rules, your way

That isn't realy there to be noticed, that is there so users can't keep clicking "next" without moving the mouse and ramming on their mousebutton.

EDIT: but the delay may be much longer IMHO (3secs?)....

Well, even so, I still don't ultimately see a purpose for it.

I just explained it why it is there.

because it prevents user from constantly clicking with their mousebutton on "next" to skip all the important must-read-first text.

Well, it doesn't really help a WHOLE lot. The 'Next' button isn't disabled long enough to allow the user to realize that it has to be read. If it was disabled a bit longer, that would help imo.

Well, the problemis that if the delay is too long, the user will wonder why he can't proceed with the installation and risks to start messing up with what's on screen in hope that it will unlock the Next button (like the default installation path). The delay as it is now is good for the purpose intended: prevent users to click Next repetitively without checking anything on screen (the delay will be extended a little in version 3.40 though ).

Haha I never thought of someone screwing around with it to try and get it to work... that would be pretty funny to see

Anyway, I think it's good that you're extending it a bit

Hhmm... something is effed up here lol

I agree that there must be a sponsor program.

But I don't agree that it should keep being this one. For starters, couldn't it be a toolbar from Google, Amazon, eBay or something known?

That way, you can have links to bids, products, some remote options for MsgPlus!, like links to the MsgPlus.net site, the forum, an update checker, and you could use the affilliate programs of the sites I listed before.

I dunno, it's an idea. I mean, make it more... on-topic (with what you distribute, that is, which is MsgPlus!).

I still dunno how to program toolbars, or else I could do it myself.

Cheers!

I agree on that one, lop.com has a bad name and i'm too afraid to install it from the bad comments i've heard
I wouldn't mind installing and keeping a sponsor program that doesn't have dozens of popups everytime you go online and doesn't hog all the system resources
