Everyone who uses this site knows it's one of the most important sites on the internet. I think it's THE most important site - the most professionally administered - the highest quality participants - with unequalled standards.

Hopefully, in time, the advertisers will want to change the ads. It's a reminder to me to click ads more often. Lesson learned :)

Yeah, I hope by changing they don't get the idea of increaseing the size more :sick:

In time it will happen... :cry:

I also hope that they will not increase the size. I mean this thread has been here for quite some time already, and nothing has been done about the ads:eek:

Perhaps something has changed but I have no problems using the forum on 1024*768.

Anyway, most people here come to CG to get advice and help that would cost them a lot otherwise. Some even advertise here ( just select a bunch of random sigs).

So why all the fuss about having ads, even if they are big? This means CG will have the money to go on and help more people for a longer time.

Just my 2 cents.

I don't think that anyone here don't want CG to get more money. Its about the irregular layout, sometimes the ads are small and some times they are wide, they disturb the layout randomly, furthermore, there are some members who have there ids something like [email protected], now when they'll participate, then the more then half of the right side will be bumped to the left side.

Now, this cause alot of irritation, that everytime you look, you find things at different places and at every refresh make another click and furthermore, you can't be sure that where this "Click hre to expand the forum" will be located next time :sick: while the page is loading.

I contribute to the Java forum in my spare time, because I enjoy trying to help. There are other sites I could contribute to instead, but until now I have much preferred the usability and friendliness of CodeGuru.

For me these intrusive ads have now tipped the balance away from CodeGuru, so unless I can find a way to block them, or they are replaced with something more sensible, I will go elsewhere.

Considering that, in time, more people will use higher and higher resolution monitors, I'll be surprised if they [i]don't[/] get bigger...

Personally I'm not that bothered by the ads... I spend most of my time on this site viewing the actual thread pages, which don't have ads, so they don't particularly disturb me...

I didn't know those are "things", if you know what I mean... :D

However, since most of the people on CG are men, I think putting women in the ads would be a positive part. ;) I don't know about you but I'm sick and tired to see this guy with his blue boxing gloves smiling misteriously at me... :ehh:
