Actually you have more rights than that; websites have to be accessible, by law. There are accessibility tools that can test if the webpages comply, and any good web designer would do an accessibility audit to protect their client

I brought this up when the site was redesigned but don't think anything came of it

Where did anyone say you did not?

All that has been said is that it is unlikely that MSE will change the forum layout in view of the type of site it is i.e. a money saving website, they obviously think the links are necessary and cater for users who use the site for the purpose it was developed for, the forum is just a sub-section.

Very simple for the op to download an ad blocker and remove all the ad's thus cleaning the page up.

ADD is no excuse for rudeness.

I started counting all the links but gave up at 160.

You've spent more than enough time trying to help the OP out.

The fact is that the Strange One is a miserable troll that is ungrateful for any advice offered. This is one example.

I've just read this thread and the OP's previous posts too. I've come to the conclusion that no-one on this forum will be able to help them. They don't like the forum or any of the advice they are given.

OP, if i were you, i'd find another forum to moan on. You won't get much sympathy here if you carry on like this. I can't believe the amount of replies you got on your Healthy Eating post, all useful advice i may add. You shot everyone down. Why ? You're very rude.

I'm not trying to help them out, I was considering making one of these threads myself actually, but searched and found this one. No point in making multiples, so I just added my thoughts too.

I found (and still do find) that it's quite difficult to know where to post, its very intimidating and the masses of purty pictures just give me a headache.

I don't doubt the intentions of the people behind the site, but it is just not a well designed web site. It really really isn't.

I've noticed there is something deeply wrong with the attitude of the people on this forum.

Pot/kettle springs to mind as nothing that anyone posts or replies to you appears to please you, this is an open forum others are entitled to opinions even if you disagree, just because it is not what you want to hear does not mean people have attitude problems.

Just in your opinion and no doubt some others, which you and they are entitled to, personally in my opinion there is no problem with the layout and anyway life is too short to moan about a website.

Thats just way too easy for the OP to do, in fact he might even say its a no go, you read his thread about cheap healthy lunch recipes ? link here

When someone posted links to 2 threads on mse his reply was "Those recipes are cheap? Are you serious?" yet he asked for cheap lunches.

I guess part of the problem is that most people here (me included) do not understand what ADD is or the problems it causes. Personally I think this is a very well designed website which is easy to use and navigate. I'm sure your viewpoint (that its cluttered) is valid for you. Without seeing a less cluttered version its difficult to say what would be gained or lost by it.

The clutter on the right is unfortunately needed to pay for the site. You can use the zoom function and let the clutter on the right sit off screen unless you scroll.
