I don't like these new ads at all...They're very distracting. What do you think?

I hate all the Xanga adds. They annoy me.

I make layouts and they kill the beauty of all that I create.

Unless they're on premium trial.

But I think you put this in the wrong section.

Oh wow they are pretty big. It is pretty annoying. There's not much you could really do about it. Good thing I made all my layouts to fit it, so that even though there's that huge banner, my layouts never get covered up. tongue.gif

I guess you could.. talk to them about it? Hm.

They take up so much space and bring all the attention up there instead of too my blog. Ek. I thought something was wrong with my ad remover when I first saw it.. is there any way to remove this one too ?

Yay. Now let's all e-mail xanga and order them to take it off. So far, that'd be a lot of people! :D

theres not much you can do about them besides get a xanga ad remover...they are getting pretty stupid, but the fad is also fading away so i doubt anyone really wants to advertise with them.

For me, your xanga itself doesn't appear, just the ad and the menu. I screenshotted it for ya (thumbed):

Well, this new ad was been choosing out by votes from all of the users in xanga. Can read the article here.

There is another way to remove it, just use Javascript to hide the iframe. But the problem using this matter will make your shout box & cbox could not be display, caused shout box or cbox was using iframe either.

D: Greatestjournal or Livejournal are good for journal entries.

Not so much with the music and cboxes. Besides with those and the ads, they clutter much of the page anyway.

ugh. I don't care about which bag Paris Hilton uses! It takes longer to load the damn ads then it does my blog. I wish xanga would move them to the bottom. Why don't they use google ads?
