Javascript as it relates to Adsense

AdamNP

Hello there. First off, I'd like to say *amazing* job to everyone involved with the new design. There are some minor issues, but it is so far superior to the old version there's really no comparison.

Now, my issue. I know a lot of people would cringe at having Adsense on their galleries... but I was actually making more from those clicks than from photo sales. Previously, you could put the adsense code in, for example, the gallery description. That no longer works. Neither does adding the code to an HTML box. I assume this is because Javascript is not allowed now. Not being able to use Adsense would be a dealbreaker for me as the income was quite significant, so I hope this can be fixed (it should be a simple matter to allow the code, or add a content-type just for adsense).

This new SM is way too cool for me to ever want to leave. Please make an accommodation for Adsense. Thanks

We're aware that people used JavaScript for these types of things (Adsense, fonts, etc), and we want to know what additions we should make in terms of this functionality.

I will add it there, but it really feels like a pointless thing to do. I doubt it will be looked at, and if it is it will be months or years down the line.

Let me be clear. This is not an appearance thing, or a little customization I'd just like to have. Not having this is removing a significant source of income for me, that I have depended on since I joined SM in 2009. It is not acceptable to simply take it away. It should not be a big deal to add a new type of content box, or a specialized HTML box that would allow for Adsense code.

I have been using smugmug since 2010 and I have just started providing my own banner ad system for a local market. I did this with Java script. I take sports pictures for a local high school and to keep the image downloads free I have sponsorships from local businesses I provide a clickable banner that selects from a random list of images. I tried a couple things with the new smugmug but I am unable to provide the same without javascript.
