    Can the ads be moved out of the post body? It is intrusive breaking on a post with one. I'd rather have it at the end of the post, and think it's a poster's signature, if nothing else is possible.

    Ditto. Anywhere, as long as it's not in the middle of a post.

    I'm still playing around with placements, so you may see them move around a bit more. Thanks for the feedback.

    Side note: I will be launching an ad-free version of PriusChat soon that will be available to "Premium" members.

    Just logged-on on the site, have been ? for a while now.

    I'm happy that you are proud of the new version of the web site. But the ads are way too intrusive. I'll stick with tapatalk, no ads.

    I don't tolerate ads well. Especially in the middle of a post. That's just obnoxious.

    Sometimes I'm reading the ad, thinking it is part of the post:sneaky:, until I find out it is not.:censored:
    Just put the ads on the side.:)

    Ads? What ads?

    (I had to block ads and most other third party junkware years ago, just to get usable performance on a limited bandwidth and a monthly data allowance on a landline that would cramp many mobile phone users today. Now with Big Data watching / recording / profiling everything, I've chosen to keep blocking them.)

    I'm still working on pricing, but my goal is to:
    1. Make it reasonably priced
    2. Provide Premium members with Premium features on the site, like elimination of all ads (except for possible future in-house ads), a Premium forum with special group buy opportunities and, potentially, information. Additional features like a banner below your username showing that you are a Premium member, ability to bookmark posts or threads.
    3. Give out a goodie bag with special PriusChat reusable grocery bags and a car decal.
    4. Provide special discounts in the PriusChat Shop for Premium Members at various times during the year.
    I haven't asked for donations for running PriusChat in over 10 years, but I've had lots of people offer to give donations that I have declined because I want to feel like I'm giving something in return.

    Thoughts?
