I am getting adverts from my web browsing at the top of the page.I don't remember seeing this.IF it was there it was'nt prominent.Currently I have offers for seed potatoes and plants from Blooming Direct.

That's probably rays fault:29:

Me no like the new layout change it back its pants

 

[zzzjim]

At least the ads don't flow down and follow you ! ( Change - is how business works )



( Always liked Zooming in FireFox -on PC ) Need a better Phone - cos mine is too small ..!

Adverts have always been a part of the forum but they certainly seem to be taking over lately.

The actual forum part is very restricted and feels squashed in on my iPhone.

I clicked on the adds to remove them then gave up when I realised they come back every time.

looks and feels rubbish

The menu has gone from the right to the left, apparently that's a better placement for sponsors. They should get 'seen' more.

Google ads are being toyed with, they'll not be shown to those with 10+ posts once I've configured it properly.

Apologies for the lack of announcing it. I literally did it on a whim.

Its not the ads Dan, its the squeezing everything into the middle of the page. Seriously - I have about 5 inches of plain grey space on either side of my monitor!

That's been like that for a while. Looks like me moving the menu has switched you back to the default style for the forum. It sounds like you were using the 'fluid' style (which expands with the page). A fix: scroll to the bottom of the forum and you'll see a a drop down box on the left. Selected will be "Fixed Orange and Blue" change that to "Orange and Blue". 🙂

Also, do me a favour. Visit TilersForums.co.uk - Tiling Forum by Tilers Forums | Tiling Advice on your mobile. I'm testing that style. Tell me how that feels and looks for you. It's a mobile style that I wondered if it would be worth using network-wide.

No box there now. I do recall it from before, because I inadvertently messed with it once, and someone kindly told me how to put it back. But that option dropdown is no longer there.

[lame plumber]

hate to say it but all advertising gets ignored in reality, until you need something, then you forget where you saw what you needed 🙂

So that explains why your favourite intergas is market leader, and Worcester Bosch is just a minor player?

And who sells more cars prithee?

 

[lame plumber]

mass sales dont make them better, long been known that the need to make profits on cheaper products means reliability isnt always as good, not saying ig are rolls royce boilers, but they seem to be a good reliable product, based on my limited experience of the mass boiler market. Just coz they wont let you sell them, you really must chat to the new boss and get them on your shelves.

You said that "all advertising gets ignored".

Which is demonstrably untrue. As evidenced by the runaway sales of well advertised brands in both the car and boiler markets.
