I just saw this pop up.
Can I suggest a couple of minor text changes?

Just a few spelling issues in English and some punctuation where I think it is needed.

Thanks, will change it, the only thing i do have a problem is that i do not know if the pop up is big enough as i only can see it once. |

It was in the middle of the screen and got my attention.
Look where I have posted this text now, the box to the left where the avatar & info is. The pop-up was larger than that in width but about the same in height.

It was big and prominent when it came up on this screen. I hope it brings the desired results. |

I must admit I saw it a few moment ago and assumed that it was something on AH and I had clicked on it by accident! Simply because although I haven't been active for the best part of a decade I still have it on my bookmarks just above this site and since it mentioned being on the site for the 1st time I thought it can't be ATF! Not a problem as having seen this message I know what's going on and I won't see it again but it was a "What! Oh I must have clicked the wrong link" moment. As such I didn't actually pay any real attention to what it said. If I was a newcomer I think it would be clear enough as I got the guise from a brief glance so should be OK.

That is strange, want only be a message and not something to click on, will have to look into it. |

No, sorry I didn't explain it clearly. When it popped up I assumed I had clicked on the wrong link for the site and immediately clicked the ATF link for this site in my bookmarks and came in again. Of course because I had already seen it it didn't come up again so didn't think any more of it until I saw the discussion here and just mentioned what happened. Nothing wrong. Sorry to cause confusion.

In the ever going battle to keep this forum free of those members who wish harm to the forum and members i have installed the new Plug-in called Proxy Test wich can and will only be used by the Admin and Mods when there is a suspicion that a member uses a proxy on the forum.

New Plug-in added, called Hashtag in Posts.
put [HASH]word in posts that creates a clickable link that will run the search engine for all posts with that same hashtag.

Due to broken links, the thread images that showed Hot Topics and such have been disabled, will try to find a solution to it.
