1. I'll look into it. There should only be one rectangular ad on screen, so something's amiss.

2. The reason large sites such as KUMB need to generate revenue from ads is because they cost to run, and not enough users take up our donation/Premium Member schemes.

Just popped on here to see if others are getting the same problem.

Yes, the site is not great at present, I agree its frustrating, but telling the owner, who offers a free service, to ****ing do something - is a ****ing cheek quite frankly.

You don't have to be on this site if you don't want to, stop being so ****ing entitled.

Yes,

I'm getting huge amounts of adverts..

The two on each side are squeezing the forum ...squishing it into a small size.

Then a huge one appears from the bottom...and goes approx half way up the page......and there is also one at the top...although that's the least problematic.

The adverts then continue to twitch around moving the page up and down slightly and making it hard to click on the exact thread you want to.

The names of the players in the squad keep appearing too at the top of the page ...as if you are clicking on the squad topic, when I'm not.

It's all behaving quite strangely...not like I've seen too often. Just bringing it up....so hopefully it can be looked at. I know the importance of the adverts... :newthumb:

Even the white space between the logo and the main menu? Sorry, should have been clearer with what I was highlighting. Not so much of an ad problem but the ad combined with the white space means the main content is way below the fold.

Thanks Sx. No, that's not correct. Is it permanent for you, or temporary? (I ask as I'm unable to replicate here.)

Seems to correlate with the takeover/wraparound ads, and it seems to be throwing out the sizing of the banner ad placement (which doesn't display anything).

I've started getting half the screen taken over and KUMB compressed into the middle. :(

Same here.

Particularly irritating when one of the ads is for Beyonce at Spurs' stadium.
