I understand the need to pay for the forums, and that's fine, but I just HATE the flashing ads. They make it impossible to read anything on the page.

I definitely preferred the ad when it was located at the bottom of the screen, but at least this placement to the right of the content is easier to deal with than it was when they had it on the left for a few minutes.

It's horribly distracting and it looks really cluttered.

I wish it was one I could block with the Mozilla Adblock app. Grrrr...

Maybe it got loose before and that was it running around the forum.

Wow, now I'm all freaked out.

Do you think the ads listen to us!? [Angst]

Ads, you are disgusting and despicable and should all go away forever!

*Looks around hopefully*

Ad? What Ad? The only ad I see is at the top where is say Support Hatrack by buying from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Booksense. Is is very small and certainly not blinking.

Maybe my Ad Blocker is working, I use Mozilla Seamonkey v1.1.2.

Am I missing something?

And for the record, and in general, I find flashing blinking Ads INCREDIBLY annoying. That REALLY REALLY will NOT make me want to buy your product. More likely it will make me want to reach through the screen and grab you by the throat.

I didn't see the ads either—I just saw that they squished the forum over to the left, which was annoying.

The los alamos physicists are top secret -- that's why they are featured in banner ads on the internet.

I was wondering why I didn't see any of these ads, I guess I already have those mozilla ad-ons. I just upgraded a couple days ago.
