Enough with the Ads - Now INSIDE posts!
Ok, I've never posted in ORP before as I've never felt strongly enough about something, however the adverts are now getting ridiculous.
Adverts INSIDE posts are the final straw. I can cope with them at the top, on the side, just about in threads themselves, but actually inside posts is really taking the p***. Randy, ENOUGH!
Rant over.

And they don't work for me with posts which include frames/quotes - they over-write each other
eg http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showp...08&postcount=1 - first part of post is pretty unreadable in the thread

Definitively not an enhancement for FT. 
Can they at least be wider and placed at the end of the post.
Can we get add-free FT yet?

I have to agree. FlyerTalk seems to be getting more and more cluttered to the point of it becoming very user un-friendly.

Very ironic that the post about "adverts within a post" has an advert within it!
I agree these might just drive me bonkers - very bad idea, very bad form.

This gets the big PresRDC .
Seriously, have you explored the option of offering a paid version of FT for those who do not want to see the ads?

This is probably bad form to post here (since I'm a moderator), but please see
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
Then see:
http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/
then see:
http://flyertalk.com/forum/showpost....8&postcount=96
and finally
(or just go directly here )
If you do all of these, FT will look like it did before ads. I never see any of them.

This may be something that google has changed, not WebFlyer.
Just a thought.
But I'm also eagerly awaiting the ability to finally pay something for this wonderful resource and make the ads go away.
