Dude! Wait... what?

Thanks to mynn for being the paid receiving vgift guinea pig: anyone who is NOT paid and looks at the vgift, even if it is on the profile of a paid user, will see the ad copy. However, the paid user will not see the ad copy on any profile they view.

This doesn't seem to be true for a paid user viewing no_lj_ads's profile.



Or am my missing something 'cause my caffeine hasn't kicked in?

you're missing something

[speck]

you are seeing the text of the message - the sender decided to make it ad copy.

But you are seeing the picture - which is an ad.

If you were a free user, you'd see "Brought to you by Diet Pepsi Max" and a link.

Like the picture on the right here:

Ah, ok. Note to self: Coffee first, then post. Coffee first, then post. Coffee first, then post.

Fail again ...

Not coffee. Diet Pepsi MAX.

Coffee always beats Pepsi in my personal taste tests. Besides, I come from a Coke family.

Hahaha, my father calls Coke the "sacred beverage". Establishments that carry Pepsi are heathens.

I try to not drink soda much anymore, save for really good hippy root beer, and I've never done well consuming caffeine. I mean, the stuff has one whole day's allotment of added sugar!
