Thanks

Indulge me with some other quasi-related questions.

These are the ad stats for our board over the last few weeks.

a) the actual total views are about twice as high as the Ads Pages stats. I'm assuming this is because many views are of the forums and not subject to ads?
b) are the no-ads stats subtracted from the total pages stats, or are they separate numbers?
c) we closed contributions sometime in January. The money we had was put into effect on 2-12, and amounted to about 935000 views. I presumed that this would be applied to every single hit and the total would be freely plundered until dry. It's also my understanding that the views purchased through donations are reflected as the No Ads/Opted column.
1) shouldn't the Opted views therefore equal 100% of the Total ad pages views? Why are they so much smaller? No one at our board reported ads while those views were being used.
2) Through the contributions panel in the Control Center we were able to watch those 935K views be sucked away, until it ran down to 0 on about 2/28. Sure enough, members reported seeing ads, and that's where we stand now. So if the ad-free views ran out, shouldn't the Opted stats be down to 0 after 2/28?

Either I completely misunderstand how to read these stats, or yuku's still working out the stats kinks, and I've been an ez/yuku customer long enough to know that either explanation is equally plausible

Thanks everso

As I said in the previous point, supporter views do not use your ad-free page views.

Right, but then I'd expect that the No Ads/Supporter column would reflect the difference, and the Supporter and Opted columns would add up to the total, which they don't.

I guess one more retrospectively stupid question.

The aforementioned funds were applied and the free views are ticking down in the control panel, and non-supporters have chimed in saying the ads are suddenly gone. However, if I log out I still see ads. Is this because in the Ads Settings page, "unregistered users" is not checked? Or is it a glitch (what we endearingly used to call an "ezfeature")? If the former, can we safely read Ads Settings to mean "check here to allow this group to benefit from Gold when Gold is available"? And unchecking it means even if you're Gold, that group still gets ads? So I could check it and ads would disappear for absolutely everyone, though the free pages would be used up faster (perhaps this even explains a bit of the numbers discrepancy)?

Thanks and I'll go back to my blocks now. I'm building Lazytown!
