Seems to have been switched at some point. My bedroom is two shades of pink, although that's primarily down to Tracy.

Has someone changed something with the forum? I am now getting an annoying banner across the top of "These are the most recent topics you have participated in:" As far as I am concerned it is of no help as everything there is on the new topics page and is just pushing half a page of content down so I have to scroll further to get the the content on every single page.

Beware the Pinguninja!

Previously I guess we were just too new to merit the ad banner.

It's just massive!

I don't get ads because I have Ad Block.

I have just managed to zap it by adding...

...to Adblock Plus's filter list. Still a rectangle there, but now only a couple of lines tall!
