Dial-up users and others will be pleased to know that you can disable ALL banner ads on the site (except the site home page), including those in the forum area!

Yup...you heard right. R/C Power and R/C Platinum members can do this just by clicking the [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/members]My Account[/link] link atop any page. Scroll down to the new "Show Banner Ads" control and flick the switch!

We implemented this option for our upgraded members in order to keep most of the features on the site free of charge for those who either don't mind banners or don't wish to pay for the services we provide. Advertising is a major source of funding for the site, but now users have the option to turn them on and off in a single click.

For those who upgrade, the banner ad toggle is just one of many enhanced features we provide at the cost of a slice of pizza per month. Not a big deal at all.
