I'm now confused about clicking, or not clicking, on in-post ads. Your comments contradict what Grant said.
Lol.... It depends what you're clicking on. It's this simple:

If you want to try and 'convince' an ad box to appear somewhere else on the forum, then click the 'x' to close down that specific ad box. If you click on the ad box itself, you'll achieve the opposite, as you're 'telling' the software that you're happy where it is. If you ignore it completely, then you're not influencing matters either way.

Virtually as soon as I open my laptop, I'm on-line (must be significantly less than 10 secs).

Marco.
