Hi All,
We're beta testing a new member badge today for those who support Photrio by not blocking our ads. The user avatar area will show the badge under your avatar as seen below:
If you whitelist Photrio.com from your adblock or turn off any browser ad blocking settings for photrio.com the badge should show.
About our 3rd party ads:
Our 3rd party display ads are only from google adsense and ebay.com. I have tried to have only reputable ad networks display here. Also, we do not have pop-up ads, pop-under ads, or nagging 'click here to continue' style ads. The ads generally exist in the outer perimeter of the pages (header, sidebar, footer).
Many are finding the ebay ads interesting as they show targeted used camera gear and darkroom supplies & change daily. For example:
The ads generate revenue simply from showing on the site. Having ads enabled on Photrio can go a long way to keeping us funded.
Some may be blocking ads and not even know it. Here is a link that explains how to whitelist a specific website from adblocking:
This is computerworld, but the same applies to us: https://www.computerworld.com/adblock/
If you still have trouble whitelisting Photrio feel free to contact me for assistance or ask others here.
(*note: once allowing ads it may take a few page refreshes for your badge to appear)
I know many are extremely hostile to ads and will refuse to enable them. Some block ads but subscribe instead, which is greatly appreciated. The vast majority block ads and also do not subscribe. We're doing everything we can to fund the site, so I think the badge is a nice way to recognize those who go the extra mile.
Thanks,
Sean
P.S. The badge is only activated from here on out. Your old posts will all update to the badge once you have re-accessed Photrio with ads enabled. The detector may not be perfect, as mentioned if you have difficulty getting the badge to show please contact me.
