There was links before, at the bottom of the page which was fine. That is completely different to what has now appeared :( These seriously mess up the look of the forum. Can we have at least the ability to reposition them?

I will check out the web site and pay the fee, but I would have hoped that we would have been notified, it would have be good business manners.

If we keep (or have to keep) the ads, can we at least have some say or a list of ads so we can ensure they are appropriate to the site as it is our users who are being targeted by this marketing.
This could be added onto the configuration page and if we have to have a minimum number at least they would be appropriate.

i.e. you don't want alcohol related adverts on an alcoholic recovery forum!
