(...) Geoff, you are right, this is way beyond our intention. First of all, I chose Google AdSense Ads for the simple reason that they do not usually send popup ads to pages. If anyone observes this behavior frequently, I will need to flag this with (...) (19 years ago, 18-Dec-07, to lugnet.admin.general)

Hi all, I think I did a fair bit about reducing the "scrolling activity" impact for those among you who frequently browse the news pages without signing in first. Apparently, the rearrangement does not negatively affect the conversion rates, however (...) (19 years ago, 16-Dec-07, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

Luca, thanks for the screenshot - this really helps me evaluate where I could optimize the layout to maintain user-friendliness. I will try some changes later today and see what will happen.
