"FAO Torquay United. Freeola advertising on emails"

Is it possible to turn off the advertising at all? I know it is to keep it free but I am willing to pay something to stop it.

Any advise is welcome

Borg,

I'm talking right now with our technical partners about providing a stats package or the daily log. Not sure which will happen but we want to get something for people.

In the meantime you might need one of those systems where you stick the image on your page and it logs that way.

Regards,
Danny

ok, I wont do it. I didn't realise the lack of the remote access was a "control", I just thought it was an annoyance that freeola hadn't sorted out yet. And I don't think me uploading the odd file when not at home can be classified as "Widespread abuse".

As I have your attention Danny - Is it possible to access the 'access log' file to view hits and referers etc?

Borg,

I must warn you in advance that we have random scripts checking for files uploaded in this manner. Those files may be deleted without notice automatically.

Freeola offers a selection of free services with the clear understanding that to use some of those services you need to connect via a Freeola connection.

Widespread abuse or attempts to bypass controls we use will only serve to make things worse in the future for those using Freeola in the spirit it is offered.

Regards,
Danny

ditto, I am in the stages of creating a simple file upload form for my remote uploads - I am only going to upload the odd file remotely so freeola have nothing to worry about.

I provide free tech-support to the users of this forum, so I consider my moral obligation annulled!

I know we keep saying it but watch this space. We're determined to get this off the ground asap.

Bob, you are right!

I always use a freeola.net email address and assumed the domain ones were the same.

AFAIK you can't pay for remote access with Freeola.

Thanks for the feedback.

I am currently with pipex dsl and have several sites hosted at freeola (with domain names) and it is a pain to have to dial-up to freeola every time I want to upload. I was thinking about changing over to freeola for dsl access but the only thing putting me off (apart from the price) is the advertising on the emails. I use pipex's smtp servers at the mo but I wont be able to if I convert to freeola.

The other option (if possible) it to pay freeola to enable remote access. This is a better option but probably less doable.
