    Ads Removed from Posts in Dark Theme

    In the Dark forum theme (the default for this site) we had some ads in the first post of every thread.

    While they did bring in revenue for the site, we decided to remove them so that we can display larger thumbnails of images and videos in posts. this helped in the new Video Tutorial Forum

    I was getting use to them to the point of hardly noticing them but now that you mention it, the pages are not so busy anymore. I would be happy to donate to this site now and then via paypal to help make up a bit of the loss.......... just a bit......pockets aren't that deep lol

    I found it very distracting.
    The ads were covering parts of the text.

    That's why I went to the Light Breeze theme instead, I actually like it better.

    Any chance of removing it from the light forum style as well, also take a look at this thread :Donation idea, as an idea for the loss in add rev, this may help

    There are no ads in the posts in the light skin.... at least there shouldn't be.

    I'll think about the donation idea..... maybe you could donate and get a star by your name and when you are logged in there will be no ads.... something like that?
