Ads on FOFC : Am I the only one to see them ?



But not always, and not on all forums.... What the heck is going on ?

I don't see them.. neither in IE nor in Firefox.. spyware? Weird toolbars installed?

I'm in Firefox and Alf's right, they only show up sometimes. On the General Discussion page, I saw one so I posted in this thread then left the thread and the ad was gone.

I use Firefox and have never seen any ads. Probably some kind of spyware on your comp.

No Spyware. There are ads on the site now.

EDIT - They do not show up every time you load up the page.

Don't your eyes hurt?

I saw them on the default skin too, but not on Yellow.

Uh, it was the other guy that made a comment about not liking a skin. I'm simply trying to help anyone that does not want to see the ads know what skins do not show them. I could not care less what skins you guys use.
