    Aren't all ads removed for Friends, except the bottom right one on the home page? It should be an ad free experience reading content.

    I just subscribe (or donate) to them. I run out of monthly bandwidth when I don't block ads.

    My Adblock Plus is saying 2 on the home page, none when viewing threads.

    (I use adblock when on my work computer for reasons. I whitelist several websites including sbaf at home)

    EDIT: The amazon affiliate link is being counted as an ad, the other being the one in the bottom right.

    I've gotten that ad too. Not sure if there's a connection but I only started seeing it after using the SBAF search tool.

    I was seeing a lot of them the other day but like I said above - it only seemed to happen after I used the SBAF search tool and also doing some google searches of SBAF.

    Yep, I've seen that one too. Also on Android+Chrome. That one was worse than getting an Amber Alert...

    FYI, Brickages.com is misbehaving now as well. Either that or they want to give me a $1000 gift card.

    ABP detecting three active ones on this page, four on landing.

    Incidentally, does blocking the ads detract from site revenue? Not overly familiar with them despite having worked for a marketing place that specialises in online campaigns, haha (was more in scanning and conceptualisation). Will probably disable if so.
