I mean, I right click downloads that say direct cause otherwise I cannot download it. Now I can't download any direct videos. Way to GO!

Sounds to me like you WEREN'T right clicking video links before... ?

Also, when the pledge window comes up, there *is* a "Proceed" button that links to download the video.. it's not that you *can't* download any videos..

Also, the BEST way to get around this is to contribute to the funds :D.

If you click the processd button the site will STREAM the video.
I tried reloading the page and the window usually doesnt come up then.

It doesn't go away even if you've donated, which I think it should. It's good advertising, and think it is definately good to have aimed at those that haven't given yet, but those that already pull their weight should not have to break through them forever on end.

mine went away when I donated. Did you not confirm you donation? You should have recieved an email saying so. If it didnt go away, i'd contact phade about it. Maybe a bug in the code.

Hey,

Zarxrax: If you "right-click->save as..." the proceed link, it will SAVE the video.

TekkaRepliroid Zero: The ad is set up so that once you pledge, the ad goes away automatically. Some people mess up and don't click the "confirm" button on the second page to make sure they know what they were donating.

Also, ensure that you're logged in (on the main site) for them not to appear. If you go straight to search without logging in, the ads will appear.

will that work?

I think most people will just pledge to get rid of it, and then never pay.... I'd be skeptical of too many false pledges with that approach..

Hey,

The pledge rules clearly state that if you pledge and don't come through on your pledge, you can no longer download videos. I think that is a good incentive to keep people honest, don't you?

Also, I may have to "upgrade" the ad so that it only is skipped for people that have actually donated.
