Thread: New format, new appearance

Dear Admin(s),

A couple of days ago my screen changed its appearance. Taking example from my work experiences, I keep chanting, "change is good, change is swell, change is grand." And the new screen ain't bad, but... the ad that's placed on the right side competes for space with the first three posts and I can find no way to either cancel it or scroll past it. Is there a secret to minimize it or put it somewhere else or promise to look at it later and make it go away?

The boldly featured ads are from vendors with whom I do business, so being able to minimize or shift the ad is not going to prevent me from buying from them. On the other hand if the insistence and immobility of the ad vexes me sufficiently, and prevents me from reading the forum topic which has caught my eye, I just may seek to buy from another vendor. I've always thought that things should work for me too.

So like the kid asks, who starts to play in the sandbox just visited by the neighborhood cats, "what's the scoop."

I'm a bit computarded, but i think you might need to change the screen's resolution.

I still strongly prefer the old default template, but can understand the desire to work with only one.

I think it's much better BECAUSE the ads are on the right. They used to be on the left and immovable which meant that I could only see half the messages which went off the right of the screen!

Ya gotta get with the program.

Change is good it keeps you on your toes and helps you to adapt to new situations.

Change is good, change is swell, change is grand. That being conceded, I still want to know how to minimize the insistent ad on the right side of the screen. There are those times when it is germaine to the matter in discussion to be able to read, in entirety, the first couple comments on the topic of interest. If it isn't of any import then the admins should eliminate those first trivial comments and boldly post the ad full screen: front and center, side to side, and top to bottom.

This template isn't too bad. My res. is at 1024X768 and most screens aren't giving me any trouble. The only one I do have a problem with is my profile and on that one the ads are over running the right side of the profile. It's a thorn not a major problem. I wouldn't mind a fix though.

Hmm...

I only get ad overrun when I post a message. The ad covers about 1/8th of an inch of the smiles box. When I grab the browser window boarder and stretch it the add stops covering it. Looks like the text boxes that we post our messages on slide under the ads if the windows are too small.
