I am in advertising and I realize the need you are having for it on here. That being said, the ad box on the right inside posts is bad, bad, bad. Banner at the top, fine. Banner on the bottom, ok. HUGE ad in my post is not good. It takes away from the post creates a negative vibe when going through threads.
That is a good point CP. What's your take on the BIG pics after poster's posts that normally have absolutely nothing to do with what was posted, and have to be seen over, and over, and over again by those reading?
Wrong. In your profile's general settings are 3 boxes (one for signatures, one for avatars, and one for images) which allow you to determine what you see inside a particular thread. They do not have to be seen over an over again, no matter how much it's complained about. You are in control of it.
