Change in "no ads" policy for Plus subscribers

[Shogun Gunner]

I saw these ads appear in the threads yesterday. In the upper right corner of some posts, there are ads asking to buy Civ3 and other things.

Is this a new policy? I thought PLUS subscribers aren't supposed to see ads?

it's a change due to the often request of the amazon link as well as purchase links through which plus users can extend their subcription(a 40$ order of a single game from chips&bits will give you 2 extra months of plus).

plus users continue to not get the plus ads appearing on posts. they only see the amazon/etc links on about 25% of posts.

if it's too much bother we'll reconsider...

Well, it surely is pretty irritating, though much better than it was this morning, when each post had that crap. I guess it's tolerable for about 25% of posts, though surely useless .

I like to have the links, but it would be better to have them at the bottom of the page instead

Is it only possible to support 'Poly from Amazon.com? What about Amazon.co.uk?

It's very annoying.

annoying - really

personally I find them useful

good for price checking just need to start buying things with it

A link at the bottom of the page (rather than in every post) would do the same and not be nearly as annoying.

If the amazon purchase for PLUS time deal was back I wouldn't mind the ad links as much. I agree that it could be located somewhere other than in each post.

I don´t find them annoying at all. In fact I probably wouldn´t even have reflected on the fact that they existed had Shogun not posted this thread...

Link at bottom

Links in posts

They're slightly annoying, and to me that's rather too much... not as annoying as popups or between-post ads, but still ...

[Urban Ranger]

I don't really notice the link unless I look closely...

Though I agree it's probably better if placed somewhere else, for example at the top with all these other links.

posting twice doesnt make your opinion count twice asher....

[Kaak]

I don't understand how people find it annoying. How do you even notice it??
