Profile Promo

Post by blair dives »

The small promo is bigger than the medium.

Looks like the font isn't set on the small?

Exactly. The medium ad inserts html, which takes up more space in a profile (limited by characters), thus you can add less profile content. The small ad looks bigger because it just inserts text and a hyperlink, using the font that you already have. So even though it looks bigger, it uses up less characters.

Makes sense now, just a little confusing to the user.

i'll second that. average joe will think of smaller as taking up less space on the screen, not less space in the profile.... if that makes sense.
