Contributing Member rdb Posted May 1, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted May 1, 2009 So, I'm looking at the 4 blank things at the top of my Firefox browser screen, and wondering what the hell that was! Probably just Johanna experimenting. Then I had to slap my forehead a good one. As do most Firefox users, I have Adblock installed as an extension... Long story short, I allowed ads for LW.net, now I can see 'em! If you have adblock, or similar, be a good forum buddy, and allow LW to show you some good stuff. Quote Web page Facebook
Moderator Johanna Posted May 1, 2009 Moderator Report Posted May 1, 2009 Kate and I are experimenting with the new ad server. Tandy and Artisan didn't mind being beta-testers. I will post more info as I figure it out. Johanna Quote You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. - Mark Twain
Contributing Member Jordan Posted May 1, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted May 1, 2009 I think they would be a better fit if you could place them in between the leatherworker.net main page menu bar and the logged in as menu bar. Quote
Ambassador leatheroo Posted May 1, 2009 Ambassador Report Posted May 1, 2009 i recently noticed that when browsing the LW forum i get a message at the bottom of the browser window saying 'waiting for leatherlady.net..... i am sure this used to say leatherworker.net.....if i type leatherlady.net into the address bar of a new page i get directed to leatherworker.net.... Is this something new or have i been hijacked!! Quote "]http://leatheroo.blogspot
Contributing Member rdb Posted May 1, 2009 Author Contributing Member Report Posted May 1, 2009 Johanna is testing ad spaces for the Forum, they are one of the first things to load when your browser is processing the page. She is using the leatherlady url as a separate business identity. Quote Web page Facebook
Billsotx Posted May 2, 2009 Report Posted May 2, 2009 ... She is using ... a separate ... identity. OMG - What will we do with two ... LOL! Quote
Members CitizenKate Posted May 2, 2009 Members Report Posted May 2, 2009 We have an ad server running from the domain "leatherlady.net", which is Johanna's "home base" for her web hosting and other business operations. That is where all the new ads for leatherworker.net are going to be delivered from. Hope that clears things up a bit. Kate Quote
Moderator Johanna Posted May 2, 2009 Moderator Report Posted May 2, 2009 Leatherlady.net is the umbrella for LW and all its sister sites. Kate and I decided that if we were going to do ads, we were going to have our own ad server and host it ourselves, because, hey, you all know what can happen when you type "leather" into a search of anything. We decided against third-party ad servers, and are counting on our friends with trusted and reputable companies to want space. Please keep giving Kate and me feedback- we're trying to make sure we have everything in order. Thanks, Johanna Quote You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. - Mark Twain
Members sdkid Posted May 2, 2009 Members Report Posted May 2, 2009 Sister sites? How do I find these sites? Quote
electrathon Posted May 29, 2009 Report Posted May 29, 2009 I am all in favor of having adds to help support things. I actually think this is the best thing, people that want to advertize being provided with a venue to do it, providing the rest of us with this great place. BUT, I find the new adds at the right very annoying. It has narrowed the screan. Can the adds be placed between the sections as we scroll down so the text boxes are not scrunched? Quote
