As a forum owner myself, I appreciate the need to fund the site, however adding a sponsored advert between EVERY SINGLE POST within a thread is just ridiculous.

It devalues the forum and makes printing a page very frustrating, as well as simply reading a page!!

Please please reduce it to every 3 posts at maximum?

Thread Moved to About Forum.

Moderators don't have any say over adverts so you'll have to wait for the Site Admin to comment... (I think ;))

Hmmm, do you also complain about the wallpaper in your friends home when you visit them? :D
Anyway, if you want it ad-free, use the PDA version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php) of the forum !!!

If its terrible...yes! But thats irrelevant and a completely different context - this site is designed for its users, and putting adverts between every single post is entirely OTT - I had complaints after sticking an advert at the base of each entire thread, I wouldn't dare stick them between posts as I ultimately don't wish to devalue the quality/visual aesthetics of my forum.
