Looking at the car thread now in Other, I saw ads in post #1, and then again in posts #25 and 26.

What's with that? I thought they were only in first posts, or at the tops of pages?

In general, ads within the body of posts is a bad, bad, bad thing to do.

They are in the first and last post of each page.

OK I think it's safe to say <b>The Forum Has Spoken</b>. With a very strong 89% of the vote against the change and an extremely vocal reaction against the change of ad positions in the forum I've decided to end the test and return the ads to their former position.

Don't say we never listen to you guys

Thank you very much. It's great to see that you actually listen to your users unlike a lot of sites.

LOL at people who actually took time to put something about the ads in their sigs or posts. As if anyone actually thought you were endorsing any product.

I don't mind having ads in my posts, as long as it's this one.

Seeing as when these ads first began people were reporting other users for spam advertising, I'd say that a lot of people thought they were endorsements.
