Actually, it seems to be something that appears after ALL the first post in every thread. :/
I think it's some kind of new advertisement strategy, but for me it's useless, I still don't care about them and I find them annoying. I wonder if we can do anything about that!

Mhmm I thought that was weird too, at first I thought it was part of someone's sig then I realized wow... stupid advertisement. I see one about Elaine Magnin Needlepoint which does not have anything to do with Sailor Moon.

They must have been added to gain revenue.

Hmm... so that's what my add blocker was, er... blocking. Strange, but it's a way to get yourself some money! Ah... I see, at first(in case you didn't notice) Google ads we're at the top of every page, right under the "Home", "Help" and so on buttons... now they've been moved after the first post of each page... and as far as I know, only the administrator of a forum can do that(so it's either Betty Ann or Proboards.com ) As for being random, meh, Google Ads aren't always random, since the ads are generated using a word or more found on the page... But since you want to get rid of them, it's actually simple, get Firefox then get Adblock Plus. With it, you can nuke out any banner, picture, link, flash, frame, whichever(as in, if I don't like it, I can just block myself from viewing any of your avatars) And if it blocks 3rd party banners, pictures and so on, it also decreases the loading time of a web page ;D

It's Proboards. Betty Ann hasn't signed in since the beginning of March.

Yeah, as I said, Adblock Plus! I meant that IF I WANT I can nuke out any image on the site, not that it removes as a default thing... you can set up, quite easily(right click->adblock image/frame) any image or flash on a website

under the google search bar on the bottom of the page, you can block the adds, but it costs you money!!
