| I liked your old ad format much better than what you're using at the present time. The old format was not distracting at all, the pages opened much faster and the ads were much more appealing. I hope that you will reconsider and go back to the old format that you had been using. Thanks for your consideration. |

BJW, am I missing something? I have not noticed a change in the ads. There are still the two same sized ads there have always been. One at the top and the other at the bottom. I recall reading you could no longer pay to have them removed. But, other than that, I do not see any thing being differeent. Could you explain further?

confusedabit, they are ads in the same place as they've always been but they're flashing, loud colors, and one was even about three times as large. The large one stayed on the screen for seconds and then disappeared. Also they're different type ads - dating services, etc. That was early this morning and I visited my site a while ago and they're back to normal. I don't mind the small ones that we've always had and enjoy checking them out from time to time. Maybe what I saw was an ad test and our admin won't use that type  . |

| Thanks, Blackpanther. I didn't think of it being something on my computer - will give it a scan. |

| When I did the scan it found an ad "culprit" and I deleted it. It's strange that the ads were appearing in the exact place that the MFBB ads appear. Sure am glad that it was on my computer and not an ad change policy by MFBB! |

BJW, well, I am not certain of this, but I THINK I saw one not long ago that expanded when I moused over the normal ads we have. Again, I am not certain it was on my site and I should have paid more attention-and will now!
Thanks for detailing what you were referring to. I will keep an eye out now...

| I haven't seen any expanding ads on MFBB. But floating ads might appear on account of ad bots on your comp. I know it happened to me. Pop-ups might also be a simptom of that. |
