"EEVblog Electronics Community Forum" in the end of every thread ... what is that !!
If you're masochistic enough not to use an adblocker, it's definitely not empty

That's odd, I tried disabling the adblocker, and it was still empty.

True, i disabled the Adblock and didn't like what i saw .... so adblock on again.

You also need to disable any script blockers and reload... lol
ICK! BLECH!
Shame on Dave...
Good thing I always use Adblock and NoScript!
Even empty it's bloody annoying. That's a terrible place for an ad.

I don't mind the one as a header to any page, but the one as a footer is just.......visual pollution.

I don't think he should be shamed for this... It looks bad, but it is a revenue stream.
I hate it. It is better though than the casein some forums. There are ads placed among the posts. At least this way it isn't in the way, but I still hate it.

it is
and the fact that it's the end of every discussion is disturbing and intrusive
hate ads

I prefer the footer. You can ignore it by not scrolling down that far. The header ad is always in your face.

Except for the fact the Reply button is below the ad!

you have to scroll that far, the buttons are under that ghost post.
i mean can't be that kind of floating annoying message that adblock just hide them and not make any visual pollution with it.
Its bloody annoying even with my ad blocker turned on...
The way it splits the last post from the "reply" button is just jarring. Whoever decided to place it there should be smacked with a UX book.
Crap like this drives people away from forums. I can't say how much I hate this.
I edited c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts a long time ago and I added:
127.0.0.1 googleads.g.doubleclick.net
and all I see is "secure connection failed"
Hi,
This is clearly "how we annoy the customer/reader" behavior...
Fail for Dave!
Dave-2 should irritate "Dave-1" the whole day, with the "fale" button....
Kind regarts,
Blackdog
The problem is not so much that it's an ad, but more that it's masquerading as a forum post. If there was an ad below the reply buttons then it wouldn't be so jarring.
Hi,
I think Dave is crossing a line here...
The next step is advertising between the posts!
But, its Dave forum he can do wat he wants, i will leave this forum if my filtering can't handle the ads anymore.

I agree. It is like that annoying fake account on EDABoard (for some reason a doctor).
And in HTML it looks like a real post, so no way to AdBlock the entire thing by ID or class.

That's more annoying than the ads!
I have to admit I switched off my adblock for EEVblog. Besides extra pocket money for Dave the adverts are usually relevant. But these new ones at the bottom of forums pretending to be forum posts make me want to switch the blocker back on. Next they will be mixed in with the threads like on many other forums, then the bloody ads will start pretending to be post or quote buttons and take you off to some spam site or trojan downloader
ETA: I just noticed it after my post. Why does it have Quote, Modify and Remove buttons on it? I clicked Remove but it didn't work
