Its been like this for a month or two but I was too lazy to ask why.. its going on way too long though..

The only way I can explain it, is half the screen is being taken up by some malformed table. Take a look.

Take a look at what?

Part of the new look, I think.

No, it can't be. Taking up half my screen with an enlarged table? Does that mean everyone is seeing this and no one says anything?

Hi Seanklsc

Yeah I think it's meant to be like that all those advertisments are a real turn off that's for sure.

This site takes money to run and Joey is doing the best he can.

Sounds like a browser problem on your end, Sean.

Hi Seanklsc

Yep that's a problem allright, the box has to be that big so all the advertisments fit around it, I know it really blows.

I don't understand why you think it has to do with ad space.

Can we get an admin to comment in this thread?

It's just a border size issue in the template. Not a real big t deal, just scroll down past it.

I think it has to do with a browser setting on your end.

I just realized whats going on. Inside that table are google ads that were being blocked by AdBlock firefox extension. I opened it in IE7 and I see what its supposed to look like. Why didn't anyone tell me?

Anyway, this looks like

. On my laptop running WXGA 1280x768 resolution, ads take up the entire first screen of any thread I view. Show me another forum or any website for that matter that obscures the entire first page with ads thinking no one would have a problem with it. Now I have to figure out how to ignore this code with a firefox extension.

I'm all for making money but this is rediculous. There's other Lincoln sites that don't whore themselves out like this. We're just a bunch of car lovers. At least put the ads horizontally like anyone else would do, our of harm's way. Scrolling past ads is honestly affecting the way I browse this site and I guarantee others feel the same.

Whatever. Adding a few more filters to adblock took care of it for the most part. Keep counting your $$ guys. Maybe you can afford that new Lincoln MKR when it comes out.

If it makes you feel any better, I don't care for the goggle ads myself and I haven't seen a dime from this site. So some of us are still car guys I guess.
