IMHO opinion the Ebay/Ads in the 'recent posts' window is just 'white noise' ...also too much white noise & even with the longer/larger window. Posts I am likely interested in iare gonna be 'cuckoo'ed' out too quick (unless I visit every 2hrs!). Whilst I realise a site has to turn a buck to survive & prosper ...such a trend is starting to get a little too 'in yer face'.
