Resolved New ad format

[Jay Hansen]

Adding the advertising between posts in the threads has made this site much less appealing. Even with my reasonably fast wifi the ads take long enough to pop up that it's really aggravating. If I'm out of range of my wifi on the property and I have to depend on 4G, it's virtually unusable.

Ok, must be a new experiment by Google. Will look into it. They do that to us sometimes.

I found that there is something new they implemented on March 7th, and I reverted it back to original placements. Whatever that is.

I just tried it and it's back to normal. Thank You!!

You're welcome. Sorry that it happens sometimes.

The Disney x Pandora ad between posts is something I can scroll past.

The ‘Construction & Power Tools’ banner obstructs my post.

Just this morning 8 adds on one page. Six of the same one.

Not sure where construction ad that is. I just disabled Google's access to "end of paragraph" ad insertion. Hope that was it.

AS has a feature that allows members to gift other members premium membership. How hard/possible would it be to implement that here?

SO DO WE!
(Well, now we do, anyway.)

I'll create a forum called GIFTS or something like that to inform everyone that they can now send a Gold Membership to anyone from a post or from that recipient's profile.

Look for the word Gift in the profile pop-up when you click on someone's username.

Look for the word Gift in the bottom right corner beside "Like" on someone's post. (Are we still calling it "poast"?)
