Did the ads get taken away and did anyone say Thank you to the moderators and IB for listening to us, or is it just my computer.
I no longer see the ads in the first post of every thread that we were all complaining about last week.
Seems like everything is back to how it was and that's pretty cool.
Thank you,,,,,,,,

I am a supporting member and I have no ads.
Somewhere at the top of the thread you can click on those icons and a drop down menu tells you how to become a supporting, lifetime, gold ,or silver member.

That is because you are a supporting member (if you're not logged in you'll get the ads because the server doesn't know who you are and that you're a supporting member; but as soon as you do login and the server knows who you are, the ads will go away).

I wrote to IB and told them supporting members should not see ads since we are paying members - apparently they listened to me and likely many others.

Crazy chit is all I can say. Why do I get the feeling this particular forum was once one of the best but is now headed down hill? Is it just me from reading the replies lately?
