I agree... it's kind of annoying.

Meh. As long as I can read it, I'm cool. I'm just glad GC is still free.

I liked it when it was smaller, but it is to wide now.
Seems like I'm on the left.

You see me... hi haters.
Yeah, not a huge fan either. But, it IS free. Wonder why the change?

Ah yes, the ad wasn't there before.
Well, at least if there's a point, I guess. LOL.

Agreed with all said above - I thought it was an issue with my browser at first too.

I would rather have two smaller ads- one above the other- than the gigantic one that is there now.

Irritating and awkward looking.

I agree, it's free, but I do have some thoughts from a usability perspective.
- Above the fold is gold.
- If you have to have an ad on the nav side, don't push the content out so much that it forces too much wrapping. This is especially important when accessing on a mobile phone.
- Ads on the left side are awkward, especially if there is heavy navigation on the left side.
- A 300px × 250px ad is just obnoxious. Why not do a longer ad versus a wider one, and below the nav? It will still be noticeable (because you have to go to the bottom of the page to post a reply) but not interfere with people's user experience.
The important stuff - the threads and navigation - are less accessible and now require more scrolling.

Mine looks exactly the same as it always has, just with a large ad above the "newest member" thing...

I also didn't like it at first, but...
It is now much more readable on my iPhone. Because the actual thread width is more narrow, the text is slightly larger and I no longer have to go to the landscape view to read GC. So there is an upside if you frequently view (or post) from your phone.

The only reason it's weird for me is because gmail made some changes today too. My whole world is topsy turvy.
