You may be wondering why the ad banners on XDD are suddenly displaying in weird places that they weren't in before, such as under the banner and under first posts. To answer the "why?" question plain and simple.. Proboards did it. It is part of a trial evaluation on proboards about the new positioning possibly being an admin option.

I believe they did this one other time as well, but it didn't go over well with the members xD.

In my opinion, it makes the boards look more "spammy" and less attractive to new members. It looks, simply put, unprofessional.

Does look like spam to me, looks like some spam bot made a post and bypassed even the guest mini profile. Well if it's for the better of proboards maybe they should test with it.

It rlly sucks. Tech all forums basically are in violation of the TOS too. Post splitters make it a violation.

It wasn't explained to me in a good way but everyone is saying that.
I think its because you can't have anything around or modifying the code which means you are splitting the ads from the posts meaning its in violation.

What's going on now isn't a tos violation. That rule was probably made before the ads were moved.

I don't like this at all. It makes my proboards and all of the Proboards I go to look ugly and strange when posting.

They're definitely more likely to get clicked now. Also, to get bigger, they need to make more money. To buy more servers, they need more money. The ads and chat rooms must not be paying enough to keep them running right now.

It is now an admin editable feature to display the ads wherever you want so I have moved them back to only being at the top
