      annoying adds everywhere

      Is it just me or do the google adds pop up on different locations in the forums? I understand advertising but these google adds are (to me at least) very annoying/disturbing :-(
      In other forums I visit you only get that when you are not logged in...

      The new ads are experimental and we are just testing the waters with them in terms of website experience, placements, and revenue. Things may change in a couple of weeks.

      I second that they're annoying but also understand advertising.....I'd say ditch them

      Way too many. This will drive members to the other site in my opinion....

      Hate it. Revenue good, ads between post bad.

      Back button doesn't work anymore either. Does anyone actually test this stuff before it is released?

      I agree, way to many adds, and with non car related ads like Verizon it will take away exposure to the car related sponsors.
      I don't think it's a good mix.. Looking at this page now, their are 3 ad's and only 7 posts.. Way to extreme..

      Ad's everywhere! Wayy too many. I like seeing car related ads on the side scroll bar forsure but they are in the post and between post, too much going on.

      OK, I'm done here. Useless site without a back button. Complete cluster. Hope you can get it fixed.

      Yep, this test session is a FAIL.

      I rather pay to be a member than deal with this crap.

      I just need a little more time to see what works where, what we can leave, what we need to remove and so on. In the end I'm certain it won't be the same as it is now.

      While the curser is on the "back" button, right click and select the line you want to go back to...works for me, though irritating; and yes too many bs ads. This worse than watching TV.

      McAfee antivirus also is blocking content because its potentially dangerous. I say ditch the adds a soon as possible. I would rather pay to be a member of the site.

      I don't have a use for steel toe muck boots but the site is really insisting I need them. Everywhere....and I mean EVERYWHERE! Make it stop!

      For the love of God make it stop!
