I've had it with all the ads that cover 80% of my screen. Does getting a Gold membership eliminate them?... or most of them? Here's a picture of what my screen usually looks like - the only forum content is in red:

best 50 you'll ever spend........ I'm sure it has already paid for itself
Good as gold
Thanks boys. I've gotten so much out of it, it's time I pulled the trigger.
Late to the post but yes it does get rid of all the ads
Just pulled the trigger. Ahhh, the air is cleaner, the birds are singing... but I'm still gray-haired and ugly. Dammit!

Are you using a phone to surf the net with? If so, I hear it's worse than using a desk or lap top. I have Gold here and FABO but no where else and the ads ain't bad on the other FxBO sites on my LT's.
No, just my laptop. My phone's just for calls and texts. Plus that tiny little screen doesn't make the internet very friendly. But, you boys are right... the ads are completely gone! Plus, it's time I give back; I've learned so much here.

If you want to experience what it's like not having gold just surf the site without logging in. It's horrible.
I gotta start saving for my re-up for gold!
was glad to get rid of the ads, but even happier to support the best b-body forum out there, good bunch of guys and gals here.
If you have the right ad blocker no problems on a laptop. Cell phones are a nightmare for me on this site sooooo many ads.
96 cent's a week.I gotta start saving for my re-up for gold!

I try to use my phone for calls and texts too but sometimes I get on here when I'm not at home....like waiting my life away at a doctor's office etc. It absolutely sucks and can't see how some use their phone for surfing, commerce and on and on and do not own a LT or a tablet. Any I refuse to do any commerce on my phone!
I don't see any adverts at all. Mods are the same as Gold Members as far as I know.

Are you trying to recruit new mods!? LOL
...even if I were, I doubt many would apply if they knew how much we got paid.
