its damn annoying...especially the squishy effect.
makes me feel claustrophobic.

HEY ADVERTISER...We refuse to pay attention to any ads on the side so don't buy any
ads in that column.

I don't mind the ads at the top/bottom, but the side ones are annoying. It squishes the forum all up.

Your monitor is lying on its' side; the ads are still on top.

Well, you could just not-go. That's what'll happen anyway if they don't ask for money.

I have stopped going to a lot of them actually. And if the ads get too annoying here as well, I'll stop posting here too.

That's not too bad...

BTW, according to a thread in Forum Issues they're just experimenting right now b/c apparently Google no longer allows the ads on the bottom of the page.

only 20 percent of the screen is taken up, not a bother. 50 percent maybe a bit more annoying but i think is still tolerable :)

True......... they have to pay the bills.

But I don't like it :(

I don't think anyone does. You should see the threads flying up in forum issues right now.

Look at the screenshot I posted in this thread... I'm running at 1024x768 and the ad is HUGE. That really detracts from the forums.

High Everyone,

Sorry about the additional banners. We are experimenting as google no longer allows us to put their banner on the bottom of the page. We are doing our best to minimize banners.

Cheers,

They should program it so the ads are on the bottom of the page AND after every 10 posts on a thread. :D
