What's with the ads being placed at the end of each new post. Don't we have enough room for ads at the side? Getting as bad as the pop ups on TV.

What ads? Your PC's got a virus.


You do know there's a HELP forum, right?

It seems I have to login every time I access the site. I have "remember me" checked. This wasn't the case in the past.

There are security/privacy settings in your web browser that is clearing your cookies every time you close the web browser.
Since that preference to keep you signed in is stored in a cookie, it gets cleared every time.
Take a look at your security/privacy settings.

No issues with the site being slow for me.
None of my posts get dropped either.

Maybe time for a computer "tune up"?

I don't see ads in posts (no blockers of any kind here) but who tf moved the vendor ads to the right side?

Is it so we might accidentally click on them while scrolling?

I'm guessing it is, I know I'm accidentally clicking them all the time using an iPad. Pisses me off. Maybe they will offer a no ads on the side for $20 deal soon.

For one thing, I am computer retarded. I don't know about ad blockers or the like. All I do know is that at the bottom of the page of posts an ad now appears.

If you're not signed in, you'll see an ad at the bottom of every thread; if you ARE signed in, you won't. It's as simple as that.
