October 3, 20214 yr I move the browser window a little down when reading Avsim so that the ad banner is hidden behind my task bar. In that way, Avsim gets the ad money and I don't have to look at flashy ads. I don't mind static ads, but I despise anything that moves a lot. More than once it made me not buy something. Peter

October 3, 20214 yr Not only is it annoying, but it has completely distorted the view of the forum pages. It has become unstable for me, and it zooms in and out without any input from me. I sure hope this changes, Cheers, Pete Pete Solov - Lake in the Hills 3CK and Schaumburg Regional 06CProud AOPA Member - PPL 2001Real World Piper Cherokee Pilot
October 3, 20214 yr I've had to block ads on my PC which works well, but on Android using Chrome I can't get rid of them, very annoying on a mobile device when they take up most of the screen.
