Floaters

Hans Freikit · 21-07-2008, 07:50

For a little while now, I've noticed that the "floating" ads on the forum seem to be sat in the most inconvenient of places.

I'm talking about the small ads for Jabba, Star Performance, skodashop.co.uk etc. that sit in the top third of the page.

On my browser (IE6, 1024x768), they often lodge themselves over the hyperlinks for the top-level forum navigation. Which means I can't click those links.

Is there any way to move them as part of the site's design, or for me as a user to drag them out of the way ?

P.S. This isn't intended to be a complaint about advertising in general. I might even click a few deliberately, but I want it to be my choice.

I've had the same on the main forum homepage, but on the search results such as "new posts" it's formatted right.

I think it only affects IE6 as Firefox an IE7 are OK for me.
