Bottom of any page "Hosted by
AK Web Hosting ".
Least the rest of us will know where not to get web hosting right?

I just saw that like 3 minutes ago. I hadn't seen it before. Did they have permission to add such a link, or did Xciter do it?

They damn well better remove it seeing as they would've had to alter the theme Tetrad and I created in order to do it (which violates our "copyright").

Not really. It looks like some malformed HTML plastered onto the end of the page.
Code: Select all
<html>
<body>
<p align="center">Hosted by <a href="http://www.akwebhosting.net">AK Web Hosting</a></p>
</body>
</html>
Which, at the very least, violates W3 standards.

I sw it aswell. Very unprofessional on their part. If it were me, I'd fire them on the spot and find a new host.

yes i realize it's a pain. but putting in unautorized code is unprofessional to say the least. and if they do that with this board, there's a good possibility they'll do it with other clients. That's where I draw the line IMO

Try putting the HTML ignore tag at the very end of the template.

funny, but not very effective krom. they'll probably circumvent that.

jim, AK's giving you a load of bs.
they should have used a test site of their own instead of this one.
