    Or am I the only one seeing them?

    Why is it that things go wonky when Kris is going out of town??

    I'm noticing them too. It's kind of nuts.

        I see them on every thread and in almost every reply window as well as at the top of the thread. So annoying.

          I went and checked in older threads too from several months ago. They take a little bit to generate at first but they're there as well.

            They seem to be at the top of each thread and in the last response...annoying!

              I've taken care of it for now for me by adding the "adblock plus" plugin to my browser, and adding "http://ap.lijit.com/www/delivery/" to the list of things to block.

                  Actually, they are supposed to be there. Ill be tweaking them so they aren't annoying, but can we unblock them...

                      If they were just at the top it would be fine but when they show up in the replies its to annoying. I know the site has to support itself Kris, do what you have to do.

                          I think it's kid of funny to see the Toothpaste ads next to Suzy Sunshine's responses for me! Seems like a suitable sponsor name for toothpaste!

                            Sheherezade yours is a big yellow Geico ad .

                            They are showing up in the posts for me too. About half of Suzy's post at the top of this page shows up as ad space (basically the whole right side), and there's a banner running the width of the page at the top of the last person's post on each page (which for me right now is Sheherezade's).

                            ETA: There's an ad at the top of the page too, above the main menu.

                              Sorry, Kris. I should have kept my trap shut. I'd like the site to be self-supporting, too. The ads really shouldn't be inline with the messages, though, if we can avoid it. Between messages or at the top or bottom would be fine.
                              Do you know, does the site get *any* money for views, or just for click-throughs?
