Move the donate button

IanJanes · 2019-01-24 18:14:00

I find it really annoying that the Paypal donate button is covered up by ads, I feel like it would be better suited at the top of the page. That's just me though, It's more of a thing I would like If I do intend on donating.

Thanks, Ian

Well, the logic is that ads are pretty much what funds the forums. But some people have adblocker, and that means that their usage of the forums kinda retracts the funding in a way. So if you have an adblocker, you see the message asking you for donations (or to allow ads on this site) as a way of asking you to give back what you're sort of taking away.

Hm... Where else would I put it? Maybe in a footer?

Wait, there is something behind ads?

That would be useful, anywhere that isn't behind the ad.
Just cover the entire page actually, force people to donate to get rid of it.

Forums is patriotic.

... with the donate button and all the Donators.
I know and agree with giving them maybe a thank you...
But:
Donations,
Ads,
Keeping the forums running,
Being favorited by Diff, etc.
Guys, this went too far.
Look at their behaviour on forums. You've literally divided the community in "rich gods" and "cheap jokes". Look at IanJanes. I missed the time when he was a good boy, nice to everyone. What now? "Move the Donate Button!"

I think the intention is that when people visit the site with adblock, they read the message under the ad and feel bad, making them more inclined to donate than if the button was always visible.

Raphe9000 · 2019-01-26 00:44:22

Or just add the donate button to the adblock list

there's a lot of space in the top right corner, you can put it there
and in the flax display, you can move everything down and put it above the ad banner

don't see problems in Coal/Carbon/Radon/Snow themes, they have empty space in the top right corner too
and Dark Flax is the same like Flax, just with bigger text

This is what I see on an iPhone in Safari. The button’s never hidden.

It could sit above the ad, where I’ve circled, but I don’t really see the point. If Diff desperately needs funds for hosting, he could always ask for a very small contribution; the price of a cup of coffee, for instance.
