The way it handles promo material is a real pain as well.

Those are my pros and cons

As far as I know the Encode/Un-encode feature was installed as a visible tool on all NATS ver.2 installations – which is everyone by now. I know this because I can see it in my install. Are you sure you looked carefully? Because I don’t think a program owner would spend the time to get rid of the feature on purpose. There is just no reason to do that.

Click links, then Campaign, then Program… in the last step you should see Mode: Encode {Swith}.

when i worked with NATS, i found adding promotionals very easy once i got into the swing of it. and it's also very easy for affiliates to generate the linking codes they need. and you and your affiliates can track sales or hits by url, which is sweet.

why not offer ccbill as an option for those who are more comfortable getting paid by ccbill and offer the NATS program for the rest of us? that way everyone is covered.

best of luck to you with your new program

you know what... I've seen my fair share of cascading software. From the backend to the front end. What really bothers me is the code itself. Comming from someone that has programmed php I think it's the best software for your needs. It's well put together and very functional. which is more that I can for the rest of the software out there. Maybe they are getting better, who knows. Every program has thier flaws.

The only con I think is that you are limited to thier updates. special programming must be done on the side.
