Driving Revenue: back in the affiliate saddle?

[foxfirefey]

There's a comment in the current news post pointing out a new Driving Revenue script. You may remember the previous, flawed implementation.

The script is: http://l-stat.livejournal.com/js/pagestats/DR_v4u.jsThe script is now: Read more... )

help i did the opt out but now i can't do something is there a way to tell the admin console to not do it
how do i take it back

[foxfirefey]

What is it you can't do? You can tell the admin console to not opt out anymore with this:

set opt_exclude_stats 0

[snchick12]

yes that is what i want and that will get rid of what i told it to do which was this
set opt_exclude_stats 1

[foxfirefey]

Well, yes.

Hi good folks - is this comm still active...?

A couple of days ago I noticed that if I copied and pasted a link from anywhere on LJ, it did not give me what I thought and what the status bar said I got. Instead it gave me a long redirect URL that included, not only where I had copied the link and where I'd end up when clicking it, but also the subject line/page title of the page it was on and the full text for the link itself.

I went to the adm console and opted out, but this, I suppose, only works for me and my browser, not for anybody else who hasn't opted out. Or, am I mistaken?

I did some testing before opting out, and found that even links in friends-locked and private entries contained the above-mentioned information. In short it appeared in any and all links that didn't take me to my own journal.

I copy and paste links for various reasons quite often, but this has never happened to me before in my nine years on LJ.

It's been a while! I don't keep on top of this stuff as much as I used to (I'm a filthy seditious Dreamwidth person now)--but from your journal it looks like you put in a support request. I'll note that it goes private for anything that is staff only, the support system just isn't built for stuff that is staff only to answer AND public.

You're right that the opt out described only works for you, the viewer, and not for people viewing your journal.

Ah, that explains the sudden private request - and here I was becoming all paranoid, thinking all kinds of bad things! There are a couple of other requests about the same matter that are public, though. Admittedly, they were held in a much friendlier tone than mine...

Hah, yeh, I have an account over at Dreamwidth, too - got it when LJ introduced the FB/Twitter repost buttons. Just in case.

Thank you so much for taking the time!

[foxfirefey]

From what I remember, really upset or aggressive support requests can flagged for staff only to answer, yes--which I think is a responsible attitude to have, because you don't want to put that to volunteers.
