Tearose, you can also center click your scroll wheel--if your mouse comes with a clickable scroll wheel.

Yep - Even see a box on the right side advertising that you can place an advertisement there now too . . .
Yup! I'm seeing the same box, just under forum statistics and share this page. Is this now a permanent feature? "Here comes everybody?"
I don't see any other ads--Windows 7, Chrome, no Adblocker.
I'm seeing ads too.
Chrome, Windows 8.?
No adblocker.
The only ad or something like an ad is ECF with a square box that say Advertise Here...
I see an ad right under the first post of any thread I visit.
I've gotten used to seeing it and just cruising past it. Hardly notice the thing anymore.
I have 1 banner directly below the forum nav bar and 1 banner below the first post on every page, plus the ECF Ad on the right.
Judging by the fact that they are turned off in the supplier forum area (just found this out), this must be the new normal.

Yea, I never noticed it until people started posting about it - does not bother me in the least - should not bother anyone.
From a couple of supliers I know, theyre seeing these ads too - let's just say they are not very happy about seeing another vendors ad/products being sold in their threads . . . And - As such, as far as they are concerned - NOT NICE - at all . . .
Just Sayin' . . .

They were turned off in the Supplier Forums. If any are seeing them, please ask them to report it to Misty.
Thx
The issue with that (for me), is that I always have my work email, personal email, work calendar, personal calendar, two work websites, a couple of Google Docs, and at least 3 other forums open in different tabs at all times. Adding more tabs can get cluttered fast.
Well yea, but that was one of the bennies of being a supporting member - those ads didn't show up. I use adblockers as well, but was able to disable it for ECF with the old software. I activated it again shortly after ECF went to XF, but deactivated it just to see if the ads were still there. They are.
Before I was a supporting member, I clicked and bought from one of those ads. Worst purchase I ever made in the vape world. That was very disconcerting for me since I have been on the 'net since spam was nothing more than canned meat or a funny Monty Python skit. Before the 'net went commercial. When the WWW was just a teensy-tiny (convenient) part of the Internet.
I don't believe I ever followed a newsgroup/Web ad before, but as a newbie vaper I had so much trust in ECF that I went ahead and did it. I'm blocking all of those ad banners, but I feel that after paying I shouldn't have to put up with them at all.
Just waiting to see how this pans out. If ECF feels the need to continue ads for paying members, well . . .
Where are you guys seeing ads? I only see the "Advertise here" box. I know they're necessary to fund the site and I feel really bad that I can't contribute, so I won't mind them. My only big fear when they start popping up is that they'll be the same tacky, annoying, blinking animated gifs that drive me nuts on other vape sites. C'mon vape shops, cut it out with those - they suck and they're tacky! 
There's one site that I can't even go to because those blinky ads make me physically ill (vertigo) and there are sooo many of them.
In Firefox, there's Toggle Animated Gifs that allow you to turn them off at will (ctrl M), so you can leave the ones animated that you wanna see animated (like smileys within posts) and just turn off the intrusive ones. But in Safari (the one I use most often), it's an all or nothing affair with Deanimator, and it doesn't always work.

Yeah--but not every supporting member sees them--I don't... And I don't have Ad Blocker. That's weird.
Like I said earlier, I only see that annoying "advertise here" box to the right. That's all.

And I have the on my iPad also. *sigh*I'm seeing ads too.
Chrome, Windows 8.?
No adblocker.
That's where I see them on Windows 8/FireFox. I didn't see any on Tapatalk, but I'm not very used to that ap. I would try it on a mobile browser, but my current password is so convoluted that I'm not willing to go through that effort.
Probably gonna get crucified for saying this and it obviously doesn't effect me currently, but IMO i don't think its 'fair' for supporting members to have to see the AD's and i genuinely hope they rethink it/are able to turn them off for supporting members in the future.
Interesting. I don't use IE, always FF, but I brought up this thread in IE, saw the ad at the top & under the first post, logged in, boom no ads? Not sure why I don't see ads that other SM's are seeing? Guess they KNOW I Will never click them anyway.
