    More ads ???

    Another major ad right below the "New Thread" button...
    Why not turn entire page into one big ad so no forums are needed?

    That had to be an error. I place the ads and I never put one there.

    It must have been a test by one of the developers or mods (if they still have that power). I've seen tests going on once in a while and there'd be odd changes that popped up and went away suddenly.

    This sort of testing scares me - they were testing sticky ads and we ended up having them in each forum shortly after...

    Re: More ads ???

    Interesting. Joe would be the most likely people to add a ad location on a page. Since he didn't put a position there, it had to be a formatting error within the ad itself. If anyone has seen an ad in this position since the above was originally posted, let Joe or I know.

    I'm guessing it was a formatting error within the ad, which would get quickly fixed because it would mess up on a lot of sites....
