Yes, the ads are not very well implemented. Some more issues that I observed:

- On a Mac, it frequently happens to me that the ads on the right side are rendered somewhere in the middle instead.

- When I try to use multi-quote, the "finish" button is almost always hidden behind an ad.

- Whoever provides the actual ads needs to be more selective about their customers: I got a lot of fake McAfee warnings with phishing links, only on this site. I read about it and was able to stop that by blocking specific web sites (windows-protector dot com and scan-virus dot com)

If that's an incentive: a few days ago I wanted to make my annual donation, but I stopped when I saw one particularly annoying ad on the donation page. I am sure I will donate again, Avsim is one of my favourite sites; however, it didn't happen last week.

I nearly had an epileptic fit yesterday… my screen was flashing , parts of the screen moving round the screen text jumping about…. Just ridiculous 

and a major turn off from this site.

I was having similar issues on my iPhone/iPad.  I installed Ad Blocker Pro (free version) and all is good now.  Not sure if they have an Android version or not.

That bandaid doesn’t fix the problem though.

I shouldn't be required to download another program to visit avsim. 
 

I know its not your doing and because of that, im thankful for your suggestion.
