Fvckin ads

Sometimes the damn ad banner at the top blocks the search feature, annoying...

Yeh it's been a problem but it is only one add that does this.. Try a refresh or two and it should switch em up. Funny how it's always that one time you need to search and that particular add screws it up.

How exactly do you do that with IE7?

Edit: Nvm just found an add-on, now I wish I could do this for my iPhone, these ads ruins the whole scale of this website on my iPhone sometimes.

For IE7 go to Tools > Manage add-ons > Find New add-ons > Search "Ie7 Pro" > DOwnloading, install no more ads.

Hey guys, I have been trying to fix it; but I can't replicate the problem. I def. see what you are talking about from seeing the screenshots. I wonder if this is dependent on the browser, perhaps - older browsers freak out. I am looking into it.

I've had it happen on IE6, IE7, and Firefox. Firefox + ABP works wonders though.

I swear we've talked about this issue before; all that needs to be done is to include the following into the site's code where it is calling the flash banner and it won't cover anything anymore:

<param name="WMode" value="transparent">

and

wmode="transparent" inside the <embed> tags.
