If I'm right, the location appears to have changed. I find this distracting when trying to click Next Story and instead clic accidentally Google ads.

Can you get rid of the annoying ads in the feeds as well? Beginning to irritate a teeny weeny bit now.

You've misunderstood.

BEFORE, the Google thing was below the "Go to earlier story Go to the News Index Go to next story" bit, now its above. Can't you change them back?
Hack
Obviously this was intentional and we won't be changing it back. Our excellent value subscriptions allow ad-free viewing of the site tongue.gif

We don't have ads in our RSS feeds, dank, so I have no idea what you are referring to.

Example from last Autumn:



Use Google Reader here for my online feeds. The current adverts are for British Gas Business accounts claiming I can "save up to £1,000" which is jolly nice.
Hack
That must be a function of your reader because we don't embed anything in the RSS.

I've never seen ads in the RSS feeds either and I use Google Reader

Do you have adverts in other feeds?

Nope, and that's the strange thing about all this. Feed URL is http://rss1.mediafed.com/feed/autosport/Formula_One

Have unsubscribed and resubscribed to the correct feed. Strangely, or should I say alarmingly, the feed I originally subscribed to was from the Autosport website itself. So I wonder where this mediafed.com lot came from? Probably a Google related advertisement company?
