Since you are the universal moderator for this forum, I cannot think of a better person to contact. I have a suggestion for ALL the webmasters who have "click" pages on their sites.

As you know, many sites now have this earnings method available, and each of them operates on one visit per 24 hour period. This, however, is very hard for members to cope with. As each day goes by, you must wait until later than the previous day to work the click page(s), due to the "24-hour" rule. Would it not be more reasonable to reset the clocks to a set turn-over point (say 12:00 a.m. Greenwich or 12:00 a.m. local)? This way members could actually visit once per day, without resorting to either keeping time records or making multiple trips to the site to find out if the clicks are available.

I have noticed that, because of this wait to make sure clicks are available, I must skip doing clicks on every site in which I am involved AT LEAST once per week. If the turn-over were at a set time, it would not matter if I did my clicks at 8:00 a.m. today and 7:00 a.m. tomorrow - so long as the DATE had changed.

If you consider this a reasonable suggestion, could you possibly propose it to the site owners for me? I realize that perhaps this system has been used in the past (and been useless), but did think it should be presented at this time.

Hi,

Someone else knows how to do that?

Im not prolifient in CGI/PERL, but I can still decipher it. If I had the right file, I could prolly look through it and see if I can do that.
baph0met
sounds good, count me in for the PHP sites
I need the scripts though (namely the ptc.php file or whatever it's called)
Spartaman
I can do both, baph and I will look through them, talk about em, and see if we can fix em.

Edit: Baph is right: we need the scripts.

Just visit the same time every day. THe 24 hour rule is for a reason. Sponsors track unique IPs on this time. Its nothing to do with anything else but that. SO having it reset at a certain time does not work.
OldWolf
That is not a problem. Infact, many programs just simply set as "one click per calendar day". 24-hour-role is nonsense.

Its already done at a few PTC sites i go to, it should be done everywhere. 24 hour rule sucks
