You would think that the "powers that be" might at some point come to understand the "law of diminishing returns." Ads are OK (after all, this is a "free" forum") but it gets to the point that you just have to tune them out or you go nuts. Kind of like driving down a busy street with all the billboards, street signs, traffic signs, and traffic. You just have to tune it all out or you'll have a wreck.
All that said even tuning it out doesn't always work. I was on another forum when they posted a "running monkey" add that slid down the page as you scrolled down. It ran incessantly back and forth in a very annoying ad. I signed off the forum and never went back.
I have a wide screen so I still have enough real estate left to be able to find the posts. Can't imagine someone with an older monitor would do.
