        Yep I have them. Piggin things are horrible because I don't see too well and to have these bars zooming up (don't know if they go down) means I keep losing focus on whats being written.

            Have to say, that on the iPad, it's getting really difficult to scroll up or down without accidentally touching one of the adverts.
            I'm sure that's what part of the positioning of these ads is all about.

              I run ad-block at home but not here in work (when on a break!) where I can't install anything - Very distracting side panels...

                Glad you said about the blue panels. I had assumed it was something my two year old had some how done. Yes, I feel old.....she is two and plays with my computer......I then think what has she done and how.....then give up and accept it

                  I think the thin blue lines are a new concept in internet forum policing & that they are there to stop spammers trying to do a sneaky lateral attack

                    Thanks for that link, BB. A much underrated sitcom in my opinion.

                          I have started to get the horizontal one too, its quite annoying because it obscures the posters details at the top of the thread.

                            I've just installed AdBlock Plus extension to Safari - been meaning to use something like this for a while now so thank you for the remind, I now have your blue side bars too.

                            Edit: 34 ads hidden on this page!

                              I must be fortunate I can just ignore the ad's unless I see something I want to look at.

                              And we must not forget we get to use this wonderful site for freeeee due to the ad's and GYO generosity.

                                The forum is a great goggle-able marketing opportunity for GYO to sell it's subscriptions, with content generated for free, which in turn means they can charge more for ad space in their magazines as the readership increases no...?

                                I use the forum in addition to the magazine subscription, very probably I shall keep my subscription going longer because of the forum.

                                I feel OK in using the forum with advertising blocked
