Recently I've noticed that at the beginning of almost every thread theres this big ad in the first sentence, and some words are linked to ads. This is very annoying. Is there any chance these ads can be removed?

I don't think you should see any ads if you've registered and are logged in.

Yeah, if I'm not logged in, I see those ads too.

I would say that if you haven't looked at the board in awhile while not logged in, it might be a worthwhile thing to do, just to see how off-putting these ads can be.

Just my humble opinion.

I know you think you understand what you thought I said,
but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant!

Of course if you're using Adblock Plus with Firefox you can be logged out and still not see the ads, and pretty much never see ads anywhere else either. Posted Image

I'm going to refer you all to a post in this forum from April, 2006.
