Every time page changes, I *STILL* have to move the cursor to the right to view the pages.

Can we rectify this situation, which IMO is a fly in the ointment for this wunderful place

*Edit*

*Edit* again to remove ****

Yes, please!
I really don't like the current layout. But have bared with it the last 3 weeks, since we were more or less told it was temporarily to promote CanJam '08.

Suggest a poll on the subject, just to be democratic and so the "anti-move the ad crew", can have their say?

Personally, other than wishing to be rid of them in total, I don't care which side they have to be on

I say we just go to Jude's house and set his lawn on fire.

Again.

Ads are not seen on the right for the very reasons about which you guys are complaining. The ads and sponsors make the ointment possible, so I think we can live with the flies.

Guys complaining about flies right and left need to buy ointment provided by the advertisements; Got it~

Might I suggest advertisements on both sides, as a compromise...

are you guys actually complaining about moving the mouse about 1cm to the right? god, they are the one paying for the site, does it really matter where the adds are?

Depends on monitor size. It's about 2 inches every time I change pages on Head-Fi. Since there are hundreds of threads, some with hundreds of pages, I'm often moving the cursor hundreds of times a day!

I don't care where the ads go as long as I don't need to move the cursor for every page. Put them in the middle between forums. Put them on top. No other website I visit has this annoying problem.

BTW. While it's true the ads make the site possible, let's not forget there is NO site, at least anything worth visiting, without US.

Yes, we sure do!
Some of us are limited in screen estate and hence need to move the mouse (aka page) right and left to read the threads.

Its very annoying.

Voltron, I'd like to see an ad-free version for paying contributors. If you don't pay, you see ads. If you contribute, no ads. Other sites do this and I would happily pay to get rid of the ads.

Ditto!
Some of us even contribute to the community as of today. Perhaps we should be cut away from some of the most disturbing ads? I would consider paying even more if we were...
