It's not necessarily a good solution as we plan to bring the banners down for logged in users fairly soon. I assume that they would rather not have the jump in the reverse direction :-) I'm sure that we could have two separate pre-loaded empty divs (one for anon, and one for logged in) but that still does not account for project, language, and country variations. Additionally, it has yet to be determined whether or not reserving the space has an effect on click rate. I could see reasons why it could effect it both positively and negatively. - Peter _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
