I figure this is the best way to update everyone who uses the free Site Scanner on their traffic exchange. And for the members out there who are finding their sites banned, it also helps them knowing it was updated too ;-)
Basically many sites use widgets like Twitter, and those widgets tend to have little beacons and codes that look like nasty frame breakers and other problem scripts. So adding the widget gets your site blocked.
Well now owners can add that Twitter javascript to their whitelist and the system will know that it's OK to have that script and it's not really a problem. Putting the power in the hands of the owners allows them to decide what's OK and what's not OK.
Now a common problem with owners using the checker, they don't know where to change their settings. I put the link below, please memorize it:
http://www.tetoolbox.com/checker/
Just note you must be logged into the TEtoolbox account set as the owner for that exchange to edit the settings. You can do whitelists, blacklists, and even manage the global ban options ;-)

We're getting a ton of questions about CTP's new gamified system. It's a work in progress, because well I find it more fun that way. So to answer all your questions I thought I'd let you in on the vision..
XP - You earn XP for doing things like claiming badges, sharing badge codes in the chat, nerd surfing, and completing training steps. If you already completed steps, you can go back to them and "complete" them again to claim the XP for those steps.
Levels - As you earn XP you'll level up. Each level gets harder than the first. Right now it's pretty hard to level up. Sometime next week I'll be updating it to be a bit easier. Keep earning XP though, you don't lose XP when you level up ;-)
Tokens - Each time you level up you'll earn a token. Or when Tim's in a chat he might give you a token. You'll be able to spend tokens to unlock cool new stuff
Skip The Drip - For those who don't like waiting till tomorrow to watch the next drip fed video, you can use a token to Skip the Drip. It'll let you watch another video immediately.
I really don't want to make a page that explains all the details because I think it's fun for you guys to figure it out. It also means one of you could do a really cool details page on your blog or site and be the "go to" person. So use it to your advantage ;-)
Coming Soon..
- Use Tokens to Access Upgraded Only Videos as a Free Member
- Use Tokens to turn Surf Juice on any of the TimTech Exchanges
- Earn Tokens, XP, and other prizes randomly when you login daily
- Buy Tokens for those who just want a ton of tokens without leveling up!
