Okay, I realize you have to make money somehow but the site is starting to look really crazy with advertisements. The one I'm really having trouble accepting or dealing with is where you now insert an advertisement after the first person adds a new thread and this advertisement is so big that it scrolls off the screen that there is anyone else who has responded to the thread-- you have to scroll past the advertisement to find the real stuff you want to read. I think this is a really intrusive form of advertising, much worse than banner ads at the top or right hand panel side of the web site.

Hope you'll rethink this.

I'm actually in agreement with this. The ads along the sides and top is fine, but the ones in the middle of threads irk me.

I'm getting ads when I use the "search" option, then I have to type whatever I want to search again to find what I was looking for. Strange...it just started doing this as well.

Get Firefox and the Adblock extension, and you can choose what ads you see.

I have to agree. I'm not against ads all together but that place is really annoying. There are lots of ads on each page. Do we really have to be subjected by that one. Honestly....I don't even read it because it annoys me so badly. I scroll right past it. I'd be interested in how much traffic those ads are generating. I wouldn't think much.

I'm adding my name to the move them list!

I was just coming to post this....I'd rather send $10 a year than have to look at those ads...so annoying.

I'm in total agreement. I can live with the banner ads and the ones on the right, but the one in the middle of the thread is just plain intrusive!

I agree... Very annoying.

I agree with all of the above!

i read this a few minutes ago, downloaded adblocker, and boom! no more mid-thread ads!

thanks for the tip!

Ok, I'm going to change this over the next few days. I appreciate the feedback!!

I also dislike this. Very messy and not conducive to reading responses to the initial thread. Go back to the top & side!:wub:

Thanks Alex.

Sorry Alex! Didn't finish reading! Glad you are changing it! :-)

Well considering that most of us already had the surgery planned when we started here, how many people does the band ads actually reach at this point?
