At the bottoms of the pages, above the footer. They're square, about 200x200 pixels, and for other websites.

I have adblock and they were there.

They're gone again - it could just have been a quick test. I wish I'd taken a screen shot.

Ah. That's why there's that huge empty space at the bottom. I thought that it Firefox was messing up the position of everything. I guess I've blocked all the ads, so even those aren't showing up.

But honestly. This is going way too far now. :roll:

I'm a little upset, now. I have Premium so I don't think I should have to see ANY ads..

But even if I didn't see them, I think they're going a little too far. I pity dial-up users.

Errg.. More nasty, but ll I did to get rid of it, was turn on my web ads blocker option in maxthon, disappears

I'm getting them too, even though I'm a premium member. I thought that one of the main benefits of getting a premium account was not getting any outside ads at all :roll:

Come on.... I think by know they've establised that they have little choice in the ads they have put up, but really you dive people away with pages being such an eyesore with such malplaced and huge ads.
