in-line and dynamic sidebar ads while logged in
Starting today, I'm getting in-line ads that change the placement of thread titles in a forum and the position of forum names on MyFlyerTalk (and the position of the box where I edit content to be posted, like this missive right now). Sometimes I click where the "read oldest unread post" marker had been a split second before, but because an ad inserted itself above that point on the page, I end up clicking something else.
Starting today, I'm getting sidebar ads that update and change. I don't recall getting sidebar ads yesterday (or last month), but I'm certain I did not get changing sidebar ads.
Both of these undesirable effects are while I am logged in. I even logged out, cleared cookies and cache, and logged back in; I still get the ads. I thought one of the advantages of registering and logging in was to avoid ads.
Whatever changed, please change it back.

My recollection is that I had similar trouble with ads some years ago, and I solved the problem by turning off javascript when I visited FlyerTalk. That seems to kill the in-line ads, which are really annoying because they change the location of features on the screen. Maybe I've just been lucky the past few years.
Thanks for looking into it.
