What happend to the IP format???

It's gone and I doubt it'll be back. . .

I was going to ask the same thing... I sure liked it MUCH better.

I am sure they want us to see all those ads even though we find them completely annoying.

I know people put a lot of work into setting up and maintaining this forum, I don't begrudge them making some money from ads, but this forum and its adds are just plain ugly and distracting now. Repeating the same add over and over all over the place looks trashy. I actually don't mind seeing how much Drs charge for the sleeve and other surgeries, but the plastering of adds, and the sick color combinations is too much. If there was someplace else to get the great comradeship and information as here, I would go. I'm sure I am not alone there.... The heart of this place is the people, and consideration of them will get MORE people to stick around once they get here...

I agree -- I was coasting on not "refreshing" the forum so I could maintain the IP format, but a couple of days ago it automatically became the ad-ridden horrible colored format it is. I really wish they would consider a different way to put the ads in -- sigh.
