Adverts MK2
 

Hi

I know the last thread on this didn't go down too well but I have to post something about these bloody adverts!

I can handle them in the banner and at the top and bottom - no problem. I understand the economics of these things. I cant stand having them down the side though. The forum now takes up half the screen which looks absolutely rubbish. To make it enjoyable to come here you need to be utilise the full width of the screen to read the posts.

Yes - I could upgrade but I think it is short sighted, new people will arrive take one look and go 'cos it looks horrible.

Pistonheads was used as an example, I dont go on there much but I dont recall having the side of the screen inflicted with these things.

Can you not double them up at the bottom or something???

Rant over.

Cheers

Dave

That was quick!!

Posted the above and went to view in the forum - no adverts!!

Impressed to say the least.

Were you logged in on your first visit ?

Fewer adds when you log in ;)

Never seen these adverts down the side, always logged on when I visit.

Yep - just logged out - Don't try it - the ads are all over the show and the screen's set up for something much smaller than my 17" widescreen ;)

I see no ads ;)




firefox + adblock

I feel so left out as I can not see any ads down the side and I do not use any ad filtering software as far as I now!!!

Can someone post a screen shot of these offending adds that nobody else can see???

With and Without shots ;)

Cheat!... you are logged in on the bottom pic! ;)

I find that Firefox + Adblock does bin the tasteless adverts but unfortunately leaves a blank space around the edge where the ads were :(

Ah ha the mystery is solved, you onmly see the side ads if you are not logged in!!! no wonder I couldn't see them.
