    PT-- have these ads always been here?

    I have this banner ad floating between the PT Header and the Thread header today... so, have ads always been there, am I just old & going blind? Or are ads on this site something new?

    We are testing one banner ad at the top of the page. The last time we tested this, the company serving the ads had problems, they have said the problem is fixed and we are trying again. What ad do you see? Do you remember?

    Cyber: Here's the old thread from when the Mayors tried before. http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=131517

    Karen: I've noticed the Eukanuba ads since i logged in. Think i only have a blank white space when i go to post replies. Not going to say how many hours I've been here typing away. *blush*

    Oooops... just went to check... guess it is all white now. Hmmm... earlier i was seeing the ads.

    using Firefox version 2.0.0.7

    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.

    Karen, last night there were three ads - one from Kijiji (it was on there for most of the evening), then one that had banner with a lot of orange in it and a white circle on the right side, behind the type, (I think it was for dog food?) and I only saw the third one for a moment, didn't catch what it was about, but the background was white). Today it's just empty white space.
    The Kijiji ad was very colorful, and I noticed it because of the name - it reminded me of "Kiki"

    ***I removed the ads. With only one pet ad being shown occasionally it's definitely not worth the annoyance.

    Paul - I know you and Karen could use some help in running this great place.

    I was imagining a Hat thread - a sticky in each forum. Use an upside-down floppy-hat logo, and have it as a sticky for two weeks, a month...

    Call it Pass the Hat, have your PayPal info, and let it be voluntary!

    Might this work?

    I was wondering why the Pet Talk link on the POTD page was removed?
    Was this a temporary thing or what? Thanks.

    Well, it's not a hat, but you just inspired me to make this (attached below.) Karen and Paul... Feel free to use it if you want (I know there are better artists out there though.)

    We are now testing running Yahoo text ads ... the system may take a day or so to finish targetting the ads, but it does let us choose a specific category for each forum if we want, so this will all be an experiment for the next little while.
