Banner ad screwing with the site

[jimbo32]

Not sure if it's just me, but the link for the Radeon/Sleeping Dogs promo banner seems to have taken over every click-able object (images, search bars, drop-down lists, etc) on the main page and the content section.

IE seems ok for whatever reason, but Firefox and Opera are both having trouble navigating around. Clicking pretty much anything leads to:

In turn, that redirects to:

Fine on chrome for me

 

[jamesriley94]

Wait - It's fine on the forum side - on the website itself I'm getting the same issues

Im only getting this issue on the main site as well, using Firefox.

im with this, i know there is advertising on the edges, but the whole screen?? there is not 1 review you can read without being taken to sleeping dogs

Unfortunately Tom is away festivalling it up this weekend so i doubt much will be done till monda now

I know its not going to happen,
but i wish we could pay for getting rid off those ads , as with other sites that do that...

 

[Ru5ty_t00l]

I got rid off the stupid ads but the black gap is still very annoying

 

[andrewmchugh]

most links I click on the forum send me to dabs. using Chrome

 

[CPMFW]

fine on firefox

 

[yassarikhan786]

I had the same issues. Had to resort to disabling the ad.

 

[airdeano]

it does it in IE9 as well, kinda annoying..

it really shrank the viewing area of threads. id lost about 30% area and it jumbles the forum
ribbon (having to click on the banner) for Quick Links. just adjusting after a long time..

I thought it was just me, having similar troubles.
In reviews anywhere I click will send me to dabs, whether that be clicking a link to the next page or highlighting text.

 

[Yeren]

well they are certainly getting there moneys worth

I'm using adblock until this giant ad gets removed, I have no problem with the picture but the fact that it takes up 50% of the site and redirects you do some random site is kinda annoying.

I really don't like all the changes since the forums have been hacked.

 

[SnW]

Err now it IS really fubered,
i can hardly reply, banners are all over the place !!!

Also, i don't see any links to my control panel nor any other link.........

Best Regards Ray...........

 

[SnW]

Only on my side ?
i have to do the craziest things to get a reply !

 

[tinytomlogan]

We are taking care of these peeps. SnW what browser are you using?

Try installing chrome

 

[SnW]

I was using FireFox but as of lately it has been crashing,
so now (with the problem that is NOW solved) on ie9...

Will install chrome as i never tried it before,
and thank you sir for the fix !!!
