I seem to be a member here with loads of posts but have no recollection of this place or it's name, i take it it used to be called something else and look different?

Also, what's with all the ads, like this view:

http://www.anthonyflower.com/misc/forumpics/ads.jpg

17 ads visible at the same time is ridiculous, i can't see what i'm doing!!

And the ones above and below the first forum / post hide it and look very untidy, i know you want to make money but it has to be a balance between ad placement and usability.

I would agree the ads here are excisive. At first I did not even realize there was more than one forum because you have to scroll down so far to even see them.

I hate to necropost, but I completely agree. I was just about to make a topic on this.

I just joined and already I'm turned off. Can you at least remove the ones between posts? I mean... wow. I have no idea what I'm doing!

I believe the creator of the forum is gaming the AdSense system. He/she is purposely placing AdSense ads all over the place, cleverly disgusing them and placing them around prominent, important links around the board and hoping several people mistakingly clicks them so he can earn money.

It's kind of ridiculous if you ask me.

Well no one is going to come in the first place if the forums are not easy to navigate...

Yes, Ant, this place used to reside at a different domain.

http://forum.ecommunitydevelopment.com/

Maybe that helps explain why you have posts here but didn't recognise it. Smile

I think the ads are a Google recommendation of how best to place your ads?
