Just started for me, quite annoying too. Throws off the formatting for everything.

just move your window out of the deskop to the left so that ads are out of the picture. You lose the back button, but small price to pay.

Yay? Have a cookie. Nothin to see here.

Yeah, it's really crappy what they're doing. I may have to go to another forum now. This is suck.

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

They're locking anything talking about the new sidebar advertisements. They're like big brother...always playa hatin' on the little guys.
