I have no idea, but they keep telling me they will disappear when I log in/register :p
I don't mind them too much, though. There is one in your post as I type. It's telling me to ask a vet online...o_O

Mine's asking me to save $30 at Hertz. :)

Something's changed - I noticed it last night.

Looks like its in the first post of every thread. It's particularly annoying on a phone

That's interesting. Like some others I see a large, square ad on the right hand side on the first post of each thread. Not terrible, and I assume it helps generate revenue for the site, just annoying. Especially when viewed from a phone.

Maybe it's time to click on the Donate button.

I see an ad for a Dell Desktop

Refreshed - now an ad for Infiniti FX35

Refreshed - now an ad for Someday the new fragrance by Justin Bieber

It's been watching me! It knows my web surfing habits!

Darn guys, it's several threads later and I still am not getting them. Hope another Mod comes on and we can see if that is a Mod thing not to see (which I would doubt). What system are you folks using?

I'm not seeing the ads you are talking about. There ARE ads in between the posts, but not in the upper right hand corner of a post. Josh should be looking into it, but I'll PM him a link to this thread just in case.

Yup, I am seeing an ad in the upper right corner of every first posting as well. Mine also seem tailored to what I have been searching on the internet. I am signed in as a user and have not noticed this before today. This one is for Target.

Yes they are ads from emails I have gotten. Kind of creepy.
