Ben,

You never minded the ads because you never saw them. going to a new post brings you right past the ad at the top of the page every time and out of view. Now you are seeing them. Feel free to turn them off if you don't like them. However this is a free site supported in large by advertisements and bypassing them which is done everytime somebody clicks new posts will not support RCU. Also ads are ONLY inserted when you click "new posts" and are not inserted when you go into a forum and navigate to a thread or if you click next page. These are strictly in place to get around the "new post" issue.
