22-04-08: Google AdSense added to A-ZoTT.com
As I'm sure some of you have already noticed, Google AdSense ads have been added to A-ZoTT.com.
Don't worry this isn't a sign of trouble ahead or a swing towards nasty ad-ridden pages which will deter from the use of the A-Z. Simply put I have added them to see if the site can earn anything. Income from the site would go towards my time spent maintaining it but also hopefully towards improving it. The current hosting is free but with that come great restraints, if the ads earn enough it may be possible to move onto premium hosting which would allow extended features and customisation.
The ads will be kept subtle and if anyone finds them intrusive please let me know.

18-03-08: A-Z of Trusted Trader Userbars Introduced
I'm pleased to announce the return of the Trusted Trader ranking titles, this time in the form of userbar images. Rankings will be given to traders who achieve the necessary feedback scores.
"Feedback score" is defined as a users total +ves minus total -ves, e.g. (+10, -3) = score of +7
Previous ranks were issued as custom user titles though this was not supported by all associated forums so I have redesigned this to make it accessible to more users.
The rankings and associated userbars are as follows:
0 - 4 refs: No Trader Title
5 - 9 refs: [Trusted Trader] 
10 - 19 refs: [Bronze Trader] 
20 - 29 Refs: [Silver Trader] 
30 - 49 Refs: [Gold Trader] 
50 - 74 Refs: [Platinum Trader] 
75 - 99 Refs: [Super Trader] 
100+ Refs: [Elite Trader] 
Trusted Traders may make immediate use of the bars by simply copying the image address from those posted above. To embed the image into the forum simply add [ img ] and [ /img ] around the image address without the spaces.
You may also wish to hyperlink the image to A-ZoTT.com or the list page showing your feedback.
NOTE: Anyone found to be using a trader ranking without the required feedback score will receive negative feedback for falsifying their status
