Thumbs down Open-over ads - too much
Starting this morning I've been getting these ads that are opening over the top of the content in my window. I've gotten it on every content window I've opened this morning. This is going too far...

I'm not able to replicate what you're experiencing. It's not intentional (it doesn't make sense to put a banner ad in the middle of a page) and was likely just a code error.

I got one too.... Just reminded me to enable adblock for this site.

I usually leave adblock off for enthusiast forums so they can get some revenue from my viewing.

Now that it's obnoxious I no longer allow ads from this domain.

Thank you, I'll ask to get it removed. I doubt it will be addressed over the weekend.
