User talk:Dave2010

Hi Dave! Glad I could help -- Wikia has lots of little features that can help -- some of my latest favorites include Help:RSS2Wiki, for including external data or feeds from internal Wikia pages (look for the "RSS" link in the toolbox on special pages and history pages), and Help:Special page inclusion. As far as your other question, you can make any table sortable by adding  to the table tag -- see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Sorting for more information. Hope that helps you achieve what you want! — Catherine o' the ComTeam 17:37, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Adverts
I'm a little puzzled by your last message. Wikia has always placed advertisements on its wikis -- that is our business model. We provide unlimited free hosting, bandwidth and customer service in return for ad revenue. There has never been a time that Musicality, or any other wiki, did not have ads on them.

It's possible that you switched skins recently, or saw the site while logged out. Our new Quartz skin uses a single graphical ad beneath the search box, while the older Wikipedia-style Monobook skin uses a strip of text ads down the right side. Anonymous or logged-out users see larger and more graphical ads than logged-in users, who see smaller, more textual ads (or internal Spotlight ads for other wikis).

We do work with our advertising network to exclude noisy, distracting or otherwise unpleasant ads, so if there is a particular ad that is causing your users grief, let us know so we can do something about it.

The best way to get ads that fit better in context is to make sure the ad partners have plenty of keywords to identify what the page is about -- the more musical content there is on a given page, the more likely they are to be serving ads related to music on that page.

Please let me know if I've addressed your concerns; I'll be happy to answer any further questions. A — Catherine (talk) 21:40, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
