What is with the Ads by Google after a post? Some text adds are displayed and it basically locks up the browser and I have to exit and reenter the forum. Seems to mostly happen after a reply but does not happen every time. Is anyone else seeing this?

I have that issue too, but the browser says it's waiting for google's server, so i'm not sure if BF can really do anything about it.

(Although I suppose they could change the placement/order in the html to make it load last or something)

Since they have been here 2 or 3 years and still haven't 'ponied up', I don't think it is going to happen anytime soon.

Use a good adblocker like the one that can be added on to Firefox It works great, especially using the wildcard function.
