Vette(s): had a really nice one. sold it to a good friend. Purchased 2004 custom coupe in Feb. 2009 did not tell anyone here until August 2009. BAD I KNOW.

I am wondering if some can fill me in on why all of a sudden there is all of these little google ads all over the web pages?  Is this on every ones or is my puter sick, it is sort of annoying, IMO.  just looking for answers, I know this site is a business, so if is is dollars then I'll have to live with it, I guess.

Its not just you. They were added on purpose.

Which ones do you find particularly annoying? (What pages and what location?)

And yes, it is an attempt at additional revenue.

Thanks.

Well, my lady just hates them period.      But in time will get use to them.  

I just hate them between the post reply and thread your reading.   Not for me to read an advertisement and trying to post a reply as now.     Others are in a good spot.

They don't bother me.  If they help with the revenue of the site, its ok with me.  Most sites you visit have some kind of ads.  I just ignore them.

I am all for what it takes to increase revenue, the only thing that I am against is popup's.  But, I have 3 popup blockers, so I wouldnt know if i got any or not.
