Still logged in to my account with single star now seeing advertisements on the bottom of the page on the mobile site. Just noticed it this morning.

All I see is the giant one at the bottom which is annoying.

Yes, we did add ads to the bottom of mobile pages in non-premium areas. With mobile traffic now surpassing desktop traffic, this was necessary to simply maintain our ad-impression count. We purposed to put them in a place where they would be the least distracting to your viewing experience. As in the desktop version, a subscription level of basic or higher will continue to reduce the number of ads shown; however, this particular ad is shown across all users.

Have you seen the vista college dental assistant add that is unreadable?

So, how much would the cost of a subscription have to increase in order for us paying users to not see any ads?

I don't mind the ads at the bottom. Very unobtrusive which I think was their goal. Good job. Texags after all is a business. Heck. I'm gonna click on a link every now and then.

Why not make it a banner ad on the bottom like they have in top?

This.

I don't care about recruiting, so premium does nothing for me, but I wouldn't mind another dollar or two to not have to deal with the ads.

On the flip side does anyone really click ads or consider the content? I can say that my eyes filter out ads on webpages, and these are a very ineffective way to market goods and services to me.

In fact, web based ads just piss me off so I'm likely to have a negative view of any such good or service which intrudes upon internet browsing.

I can't think of one service I've seen advertised here that has swayed me.

Oh well, i guess at the end of the day all that matters from a usability perspective is that this site is better than Baylorfans.

I would rather ignore some ads than pay more money.

I don't like the ads but if it helps the company, I'm cool with it. I love the site and am on it daily. Hell....and this is sad, I know...but some of my closest friends are thanks to texags.

The ads autoplaying sound are really obnoxious.

Any chance it could be a banner ad like at the top?

Trivago ads keep grabbing focus (scrolling me to the bottom). This appears on the list of forums.
