New Add Screwing up ATS Screen

I realize this is not a bug but rather the way Ask.com has their add set up but I do feel this issue needs addressing since when that add appears it immediately blanks out most navigation buttons.



Edit to delete screenshot since SO has fixed the problem

Anyone else noticed this. You can of course do a refresh and the next add will clear it, well until it comes back up in the rotation of adds that is.

Yep - confirmed here...it looks nasty.

Yes. I got the same thing about 3 times this morning already.

Luckily a refresh will clear it.

Its been a pain all morning.

I havent seen it in a few minutes, though.

It will be fixed.

I moved from iFrames to our own inline ad tags (to better be able to disable a network when they have an offensive ad) and this is the fallout I guess.

Give me a few minutes.

As we are on the subject, there is one add (don't know which) that causes a "re-connect" window to appear. That "re-connect" is a data mining/slave seperate connection that requires a battery break to close..............

The ASK.com ad issue has been corrected... the top ads are now back in iFrames.

If would help if you had some more information. If what you're saying is correct, that would be a gross violation of the Terms & Conditions of each ad network we're working with. If you have some data, we'll certainly report the violation.

It just got me, the ask jeeves enlarged itself over a third of the page to where I could not read the top 1/3 of the page.

EEEEEEK! It's still doing it!

*make it stop! RUN AWAAAAAAAAAAAY!*
