Changes to ads in the forums

[Brock Beauchamp]

Last year, we changed the ad frequency, and actually lowered it... but over time, it felt like that somehow meant *more* ads in the forums. When I received multiple page loads of ad-post-ad-post-ad, that was enough. So we've locked in ad frequency and no longer allow the ads to "fill" at a percentage rate. Now it's every 4-5 posts, no more than that, ever.

As always, if you have issues with ads, or want to voice a concern, please speak up.

There’s an intrusive Marshall’s ad on mobile that keeps popping up and making me click it away (and then comes right back)

On desktop pc, when people respond to a thread you're already in and you click on go to first new post that pops up at the bottom of the screen, instead you automatically get the ad below it every single time. So you have to refresh the page and scroll back down to see new posts.
