Ad or something blocking access to forum

[pball]

I'm using chrome and any time I navigate to a new page of the forum an ad appears and even if i click the X it comes back and blocks me from clicking anything on the page. Refreshing the page fixes it.

ad before clicking anything

ad after clicking x

How do you think free hosting is paid for?
I use an adblocker addon for Firefox. That seems to work. I know they do disappear when you get a certain number of posts though.

Uh the problem isn't that there is ads. It's that the ad blocks all access to the webpage. That clearly should be considered an issue.

last i knew, x10's free hosting had no adds.
i would use adblock for chrome. i have personaly never ran into this problem but it is an interesting one.

I'm not talking about their hosting. It seems their forums do have ads, which is fine since it'd help support the free hosting.

It should be sticking to the outside of the forum, not the middle, I'll look into that.

I began noticing this issue after the last forum upgrade.
Have not been able to use Firefox with the forums since that time.
Chrome has intermittent issues which seem to come and go.

Hi,

Does anybody else still have this problem about the ad? "pball" is not being very clear on the description of the problem. It seems that the ad follows the mouse pointer's movement, and when the mouse pointer stops just when you're about to click on a link, the ad appears right at the mouse pointer's location on the screen, and as a result, you're clicking on the ad instead of the forum's contents.

Note that this DOES NOT happen when you're LOGGED IN.

Not so... I'm logged in on Chrome, it happened to me, but I must say, it's not happening to me today or the last couple of days. But when it did happen, I had to refresh the page every page load to make that pop-up no longer "block" my access to the page. It's annoying sure, but refreshing does work... Keep the faith, it'll get fixed =)

Far as I know it would only pose a problem on smaller screens, only times I've managed to get it to come in the way of the forums is when I have made the browser window very narrow or when I've been on a small, low resolution, screen (like a notebook for instance)
