After many failures and redesigns from the scratch our Featured Links system is finally ready..
It's probably one of the trickiest codes I've ever worked on..
It was supposed to be simple to implement but it's proven to be even more complicated than our banner advertising system..
That it fell so far behind schedule.. sorry for that.
Nevertheless I believe it will work fine now.. it'd better do!
There could possibly be bugs here and there but as always they can't be reproduced in a lab environment..
So I would like some people to help me out with the testing.
I would like each one to submit one featured link ad normally using
this form.
Please only place one link each for now. I will probably ask you to place another one during the following days but
for now please place only one per person
.
Your link will be displayed normally and benefit from the exposure, but please keep in mind that this is just a testing phase (there's no guarantee it will stay there).
The process is similar to our banner advertising method :1. Submit an ad (check the availability date on top of the submission form).
2.
Skip the Payment page (just check out if the prices appear to be alright).
3. Click the confirmation link that you will receive on top of the automated ad confirmation email (use a real email address).
4. Note if the dates are proper in the confirmation page. (check if there are any dates like 1970-01-01 or 0000:00:00 etc..)
5. That's it.. I'll get notified for every order placed and I'll manually approve it to be placed.
Then we'll see if the system displays them correctly the next day.
For a detailed description on how the Featured Links will be displayed please read the instructions in the submision page.
If everything goes fine (or gets fixed in case of bugs) we will launch the system probably some time next week.
Let me know if you spot anything weird including typos as well.
Thank you all for your support!
