Every now and again someone from PH management replies saying "yes, it's a problem, we'll look into it" and then does f
k all about it, instead trying to milk every last penny of monetisation out of the site at the expense of the user experience.
I guarantee fk all will come of this thread either.

Sorry fo the lack of input on the previous comments ... It is something that we are aware of and have had several conversations about the best way to spread these promoted threads out, as we agree they are domineering the index.
The idea that we are leaning towards is having them spread over the first three pages on a rotation basis.
As with anything though this will require dev time that needs to be allocated to this if and when approved.

I run an ad-blocker, don't see a single advert.
It's not adverts he's talking about, it's all the topics at the top of GG. If there was a way to hide them we all would.The phrase "can't see the wood for the trees" springs to mind though because there are now so many of them that nobody bothers to read them and they are just like background noise. As is always the case with PH, they have no idea how to do useful advertising and just go for the blanket everything to death approach.

Unbelievable! So this is a well documented issue, acknowledged as an issue but not sorted.... Whoever is in charge, you're being a dick. Stop it
From one of the other threads on this topic, works for me...

You can add the following filter to your adblock:
pistonheads.com##.sponsoredThread
But the front page will look quite small if you do that; it's what I do anyway because at least you can then see the actual threads easily.
