New ad placement

First, I *DO* understand that in order to provide free forum one has to run ads.
But new placement is really bad. If I remember correctly, the thread view did not have ad on the right side before – right?
Now there is an ad on the top-right which takes away from the available page width, especially stupid when you scroll a little down and enjoy a white space wasting one third of the page.
This is particularly bad on iPad (am I the only one reading CodeGuru on iPad?)

I'll take a look at this a little later today on an iPad, so I can see what you are saying.
