August 26 Float/No float & Walling edit count test

Today we ran a banner and landing page test.

edit

We used the author appeal from Steven Walling to test different edit counts (number of articles and number of edits) in the banner.

Results: No significant difference

Landing Page Test

edit

We tested a new landing page that had the right side of the donation form float in place when you scroll down so you can see the radio buttons even when you're at the bottom of the appeal. Our old page has the radio buttons not show when you scroll all the way down the page to the end of the appeal.

Results: No significant difference.
