The ads don't bother me unless they become intrusive. The problem is some of the ads that are supposed to sit in the right-side box on most pages have been popping up at the bottom of the page instead as a full-width pop-up that blocks any function on the page.

Normally those on the site do not flash either (and do not even have animations, or very subtle ones)

Ads create a bad user experience. I block them on Firefox but many people don't know how. I often see youtube comments about the ads so they actually sit through videos with constant interruption. Even on a static page they're always flashing to get attention. It's pretty rude.

Are the ads so annoying though?
well except for night cub which has this strange issue, for the others the ads are supposed to be rather discreet. And it is always possible to block them for those who do not like them.

A donate button would be less annoying than ads, and might actually earn more. Just try it for a month antp.

Nothing, it stop doing that to me

What did you do?

@night cub: Re to the Discover card ad blocking the page. I no longer have that problem now.

Somebody else was having this problem, rjluna maybe? It's on one of the previous pages of this thread.


I guess I should have taken a screen shot from the top of the page, so you could see the empty box where the ad should be. The ads here seem to say just 'Ad" instead of "Report Ad", when you click on that button then you can report the ad as "Animated, Offensive or Misleading"



Sorry about the weird formatting, I had just resized a bunch of pics to 640x480 and forgot to reset.

They are investigating, and will block that ad in the meantime.
One thing you can try in such case is to report the ad via the link at the bottom left (cf attached image).
That link does not appear on your screenshot but maybe it appears where the ad is supposed to be originally? (i.e. top right box of the page)
