Re:
Interesting! Thor must have found a new advertising company. In the past, we always had banner ads, and then the company Runboard used was dropped. We have been hunting for a new company every since.
Your board is not premium and therefore anyone who is not a premium user will see ads. That includes you. You can make your board premium so that no one sees ads or you can become a premium member and then you, personally, will not see them, but everyone else will still see them.
I need to go find a link for you to upgrade your board to premium. It is not very costly.

Re:
HERE is a thread that shows a comparison between premium boards and not premium boards. It also shows a comparison between premium members and not premium members. I am both. My board is premium and I am also a premium member.

Re:
She is correct. However, we went for quite a long time with no ads at all, when we dropped our ad company. Runboard had to make some money to keep Runboard running and so the ads are back.

Re: Hello
Hi Pat,
Susa is almost 100% correct
We did have some ads hidden as text inside some areas but that company did not generate enough revenue to pay the expenses of Runboard.
So Thor has been operating Runboard at a net loss for a long time now.
I'll have to go back and review things to see what controls the default background color of the ads. I remember the old way of doing it so that the ads were at least complimentary to a boards design but things may have changed.
