Default Ads appearing on right side?

Not that it matters, just curious. Ads used to be on left side of forum threads. How does one change location back and forth?

You can't. IB (Internet Brands) runs and maintains this website and they are the only one's that can make certain changes. I can't say I like it this way either but I'll get used to it.

Actually, I like 'em on the right side better.

I usually use my iPad while browsing here and use my left hand to scroll up and down. I sometimes used to accidently touch those ads and inadvertently open them up when they were on the left but now, they're no longer in the way.

Thanks, IB!

Would have like an announcement that the layout was going to change. Since I saw no comments I thought I hit something...After several attempts I could not rectify or get the ads moved to the left side. This post clarifies! Thanks OP.

Me, too. Although it was a couple days of frustration before I found the "Community" block on the right side.

By going to the HELP forum and reading what others had to say about it and ask about it and found out about it.

That's what the HELP forum is for.

How long's it been this way? I didn't even notice.

Maybe, I'm dyslexic.

I DON'T!

I use an Ipad and use my right hand to scroll! They should make it an option in your profile!

Kind of looks "cleaner " to me to have it on the right side. But I did think for a couple days I'd hit something on my computer and was wondering how to undo it. Then I thought to just flow with the changes.....

My guess is they figure most people go to that side to scroll down the page and figure we will either see the ads more or accidentally click on them.

And I'm also one the didn't notice it till it was pointed out
