[the Genral]

I'm getting pretty annoyed by the floating ads at the bottom of my screen. As I scroll down, it moves up into my view and if I miss the tiny 'X' close button, I have to wait while the ad loads. I'd be happy if that was eliminated. I don't appreciate ads being shoved in my face. And they don't go away for long after I close them...they come back.
I don't mind ads if they help support the operation of this forum, but the floating ads are a pain in the ass and have to go...
