Did something change in the banner ad at the top of the page?

It is suddenly much more distracting than I've ever noticed.

The animated ads showed up a few days ago but were mostly obscured by the subscription banner. That seems to have been fixed and now home appliance ads occupy that space.

The question to GRM staff is should we be clicking on them to generate revenue for you?

Tis new. And rolling. And bringing in ad dollars to GRM. I can deal with it.

Ad Block on Firefox here, no banner or ads at all.

Sorry guys, I NEVER click on banner ads. I rarely click on any ad. How much higher would my sub be to get rid of the evil?

Adblocker on Firefox as well. The internet is good with it.

AdBlock and Chrome here.

Oh, and I still think the GRM website layout is still pretty poor.

Ditto on both accounts, but I have visited sites with way worse layouts...

I'm getting ads for Belle Tire, Chevy trucks and other relevant things. Hopefully it stays that way. If the ad company misinterprets all of our talk about trannies, rods and blowing things (tires, engines, etc) and starts putting up ads for weird porn sites, then I'll be worried.

Honestly though, I didn't even notice the ads until SVRex pointed them out.

You've been hanging out here. Must be SWMBO's fault.

Ads don't bother me if they're unobtrusive. Since most ads tend to be highly attention grabbing, I run Chrome with AdBlock.

If you think that's good, switch to Chrome.

There's a Triumph Bonneville ad taunting me now. I resisted clicking this time. Don't know if I'm strong enough the next time it comes around.

Which wouldn't be bad if you were a, you know, donkey.
