Annoying ad placement

[Taxing Matters]

I don't object to the site using ads, I know revenue needs to come from someplace. But lately the ads have not just been in a side bar or at the top/bottom of the page. Rather, the ads now are showing up right in the list of posts, bumping posts to right. This makes the forum post lists much harder to read as some posts are listed flush left and others are shoved right with the ad flush left. It also makes the page look very unattractive. I'd like to see those ads in a separate frame, perhaps in a bar on the right side of the page, rather than having the ads in the same frame as the list of posts.

I am seeing the same thing and honestly it’s getting to the point of being unbearable.

I agree that the way the ads are placed now makes navigating the forum difficult and unpleasant and the large number of ads makes the forum appearance unattractive.

I also find that when using a mobile device, I wind up clicking on ads inadvertently. Most annoying.

I also hate this new "feature" ....a LOT!

I agree with everybody else.

I use AdBlock - perhaps that's why I don't see these ads at all. I see nothing that TM described.

I use AdBlock too and I'm not seeing it either.

I don't have AdBlock on my cell phone (although the computers I use do).

The ads are everywhere (top, bottom, right, left, and in the middle of threads).

Visitors to this site who have not blocked ads, especially if they are using a mobile device, could have difficulty navigating the site. Clicking on an ad by mistake because of the small screen is easy to do.

I logged in on my tablet and saw the ads that you're getting. Very annoying. I prefer using my computer with Ad Block Plus and my comfy office chair for the time I spend here.

I concur but I use my couch.

Ublock Origin on mobile firefox. No problems.

Hmmm. I normally use a VPN on my personal computers but I am at work now (and VPN-free) and I just saw a mid-screen ad for an attorney that was written in, what I believe to be, Polish!
