Default New forum layout, maybe it's just me ...

I go straight to autox & roadrace, and this new layout has a LOT of dead space on the top 1/2 of the screen. The bottom 25% of the screen starts to have posting of threads which is what I log in for. Before IIRC at least 50% of the screen had posting.

Maybe the dead space is for new ads? I get that the ads pay for the forum. But I think it's a step back as far as the function/user friendly aspect of the forum. Loading too many ads up front slows everything way down, we all know that, so eventually if it gets too slow, we move on to a "faster" forum.

Just sayin

Happy New Year!

I use the iphone app. No ads and faster navigation.

There's way too much "white space" at the top of every section, not just here. In fact the first text line of the top thread in any of the sections is down about 3/4 of the way down the vertical portion of my monitor.

But I see the same thing in a number of other forums where I am a member. It's not ads, but just the overall design of the page.

This site is so bogged down with advertising code it doesn't always load for me. Some times I come here and it loads okay then other times it hangs up and I give up and leave.

They did away with the mobile version
m.corvetteforum.com/

They want you to download their app instead

Which I have no interest in doing.
