--- Comment #3 from Ryan Kaldari <[email protected]> 2011-11-18 03:18:50 UTC --- So you would want some interface element in addition to the 'x'? I'm still not sure I understand your idea fully. We actually have the ability currently to make any/all of the close boxes permanently hide all the banners on all the projects. (It's a bit messy, but I've figured out a way to do it.) Thus there is no need to send people to a special page. It could all happen through Javascript. I'm not sure we'll ever actually implement such a system, though, or increase the default cookie expiration from the current 14 days. We would actually like for people to see at least a couple fundraising banners during the fundraiser even if they dismiss them. The idea behind the thank you page "hack" is that people are very unlikely to donate more than once during a fundraiser, so for those people we have no reason to keep showing them banners. The hack isn't intended for non-donors, but I thought I'd post it on the Village Pump anyway in case some people wanted to exploit it. Of course we know that some people find the banners annoying, which is why we're only going to be running the fundraiser for logged in users for a short period this year. What I would actually like to see is a system where we only show someone a banner every nth time they visit the site. I'm not sure if this would be politically possible though since we would have to do some "user tracking" to accomplish it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
