User talk:Blue Rook

Heya James26!
As promised on my Wiki 24 talk page, feel free to drop your question right here. I'll help any way I can, just note that it might take a day or so for me to reply since things recently are getting busier in my life than I was prepared for :) Blue Rook 05:47, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. Take whatever time you need. I was just wondering if you knew anything about the way ads are displayed for anon users. If you look at one of your character pages without being logged in, the advertisement is rectangular across the top of the screen, allowing the page to be displayed without pushing the image out of place. Things are different here, though; the images for anon users are almost always pushed down by a square ad.
 * I was simply wondering if this, perhaps, had to do with info boxes being present on your wiki (since we don't currently have those here), or something else entirely. --James26 06:39, 4 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't believe there is any connection. I logged out and loaded some random Wiki 24 pages, and it actually alternated between the two types of ad. Meaning: one page had the obnoxious square ad that moved down any info box, and the next load presented the nice little rectangle on top. The discrepancy might be the browser but I'm not sure. I'm surprised you aren't seeing the square ads on Wiki 24 at all... how many times did you load to check? Blue Rook 07:25, 4 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I actually didn't do a refresh test; I'd simply noticed the "preferable" ad almost every time I visited Wiki 24, the Star Wars wiki, etc, leading me to think that there was something 'special' about them. I guess it's simply the browser that makes the difference after all. Thanks a lot for clearing that up. --James26 07:48, 4 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Sure man, and in case it's not the browser, the one thing I can say is that it certainly isn't any tricks I know about. You may consider asking the Community team at Special:Contact or live at the Wikia IRC, they might know since its their work with the ads that is paying for all this.
