Are the ads getting bigger?
 
Last time there was an ad issue it ended up being malware people got on their computers. I don't have anti-virus on my notebook so wondering if you guys are getting HUGE size ads at the top and within postings?

There are ads here? :p

Firefox and noscript work wonders... ;)

I'm actually getting a large blank space below the threads, here's a picture:

I'm not sure if that's related to the large ads, maybe worth mentioning.

Chrome has that too :p

@Dubes I have that blank space too but its not as big. Also your adblock isnt stopping the ad on the side?

I might have enabled some ads erroneously, I think the one in the picture is the APC filler ad, so if I blocked it I'd block the whole site :eek:

I have AVG and the ads are normal size as far as I can tell.

Yeah, for some reason, these big advertisements are always at the end of each thread. It's just the corporate owners trying to make a buck.

On another thread there was an ad for male enhancements and every time you clicked on it, the ad got bigger. If it's still there after four hours, I'll check with the Moderators.

I dunno about you, but I think I'd rather call 911 than wait for the moderators :D
