What's this all about then?

A load of pictures/links of stuff at the bottom of my page in General Gassing. Is there a way of disabling this?

Thanks. smile

Just started happening for me as well. I use a plug in blocker, so maybe this is a genuine PH experiment?

I like it, I just read a couple of articles I'd missed previously.

It's marginally better than the pop-up Flash ads, but only very marginally and still not a particularly useful addition to the site.

They sit in the space where Google ads used to sit (at the bottom of forums). Google annoyed us with their demands so we took them off and added news links instead.

The space used is the same as before, but it looks strange at first, lets see how it settles in and we'll see if they are to stay.

Odd how the same space can look so much bigger with images instead of links' Time will tell if we get used to it. If not, we'll take a view I promise.

On a personal note, it doesn't help with the incognito browsing at work, its quite obviously not a work related website with all those pics

Horrible things, they make the site look cheap.

Option to turn it off would be nice.

I can see the appeal to it for catching articles you may have missed before, but I think it looks really untidy and would like to turn it off.

Good point, wonder what we can do about that? I'll investigate

Personally I'd rather link to good content than Google oddities, but as I say we'll see. If it's hated we'll take another view.

Could you not link to content via links rather than pics?

I don't mind the idea at all, its just all a bit obvious, a good 50% of my browsing is done at work, what with the classifieds not showing pics anymore (adblock at work by default) and now this, I may be limited to surfing at home
