Ads in Threads

[Guppy]

I really like your site. Just a quick, very small observation, though, is that having advertisements in the middle of threads, between the posts, makes for difficult reading, and is very distracting. I realize your advertisors support this site, and keep it going, but if it's too the point of distracting your readers it interrupts the flow of the conversation.

I like that your sponosrs have their own threads though. It makes it easier to see what's available and get their feedback/recommendations.

I think what you might be referring to is the signatures, after the sig you can post anything some put their business and some put banners for other websites or quotes or sayings I guess it's just a forum thing. all of them seem to have it

I'm used to signatures having it. I mean the bar of "Sponsored Links" that pops up in between posts. I've been on forums that don't have it and the conversation is simply more fluid. Between the links in signatures and the borders with advertising I think sponsors will get the hits they desire while still leaving the forum discussion their own focus. Of course, if someone has paid for the space, then I guess it just reads like a newspaper instead. Either way, I still like the site.
