Dialled down the adverts and linked the logo to the forums.

Hi John I don't suppose there's an easy Cpanel option or switch to let us either reorganise or maybe even hide the side panels that of lesser interest?
For example I don't have much interest in eBay content, Cycling Bargains or Trending Content and would either hide them or move them to the bottom of the field.
But I have far more interest in the Latest Posts, Featured Content and Latest Resources and would prefer to see these at the top.

Just asking on the off chance but it's not a big deal if it's a hassle you cant be annoyed with.

Evening, not an unreasonable request. Sadly I do not think there is any way of customising the sidebar on a per user basis.
To be fair as well the sidebar is only present on a subset of pages.

Thanks for your time John, yeah I kind of suspected it would have been a complicated ask of forum software

For the last month or so, if I'm not logged in, there have been some adverts on Retrobike which are in pretty poor taste. Usually, there will be a head and neck shot of a mature female celebrity, coupled with text along the lines of 'Fiona Bruce, aged 60, shows off her huge size'. The female celebrity is not always the same, but it's tacky. It's clickbait for frustrated pervs. I'm not one of them.

However, this evening's advert is worse: see the screenshot. The 'Country Girl' doesn't really look like she's reached the age of consent.

I get the same.
My "friends" tell me its my browsing history, and the site mods would deffo take down any post like this, so I'm trapped between guilt and hypocrisy-

but I still don't click on the link, so I've no idea what fiona or the country girls are hiding

Thanks for flagging this up, I’ll revisit the banner ad settings at some point. Had previously requested some more ‘adult’ type content not be served.
