I'm seeing them appear in posts for the first time while I'm logged on.

They're distracting.

Just my 2 cents ....

4. Do you have them disabled in your preferences?
I'm only asking because I don't see them. :shrug:

7. I sure do......... however, now the ads are gone... they seem to come and go
...maybe it's a bug in the system.

9. I've not seen one yet
Perhaps I've just picked times to look at DU when they're not on? Who knows.

I had thought it was because I have them turned off in my preferences, but I guess that's not the case. I don't really mind ads that much, but my connection can slow down sometimes to the point that they effect my browsing.

6. I don't see them, but I think my computer has ad-blocking stuff
Someone set up my computer for me with "Mozilla Firefox" and I don't see many ads - not sure if it's all built-in or not though.

8. Its appearing RANDOMLY for me, while logged in...
Yes, I have google ads disabled. But some threads have a box on the right and an ad below the OP. Or it will be one without the other. It appears to be completely random.
