You fiend!!!

Here you go. You can see the ad covers the quote box. If there is text in the quote box, it get's overlaid and becomes scrambled.

Here's a better example.

I use Safari 1.2.1 but I will check it on other browsers later.

Cool idea, then those with mega-sigs will get ads added to their posts.

Oh god. It didn't annoy me before but now it does. Can't you make it flow around the ad as if it was a right-aligned image? I hate the huge margin.

They have random ads in their posts too? And loads of popups?

You know, I've never been as glad work blocks gaming sites as I have been once I found out Poly sucked that much.

Firefox > Safari, as evidenced by this.

KHTML still is an immature rendering engine, needs a lot of work.

I think they work by scanning the text and then trying to find an appropriate ad from google. Since the context of the thread is not taken into consideration, some of the ads can be quite funny or insulting.

I noticed a ways back that a chunk of my spam email is generated the same way i.e. the titles will mention words I used here at poly.

Suggestion: Put ads on posts of less than 150 words rather than the other way around.

Ads in posts aren't a bad idea, especially if the money gained grom them means less pop ups.
