Ads cover drop down boxes

TappedOut forum

As much as we all hate them, I realize the need for ads on the page. But it annoys me that I need to search for a page without an ad on the right side of it any time I want to use the drop downs above it.

Perhaps it has something to do with what browser/OS I am running, but it happens on at least two different computers with different OS. Chrome is browser of choice.

Resfreshing a few times, I see it is not all ads that cover. I just hit a string of them on two computers in quick succession.

I know I saw a video ad for Missus Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children covering my drop down, but I don't really remember them all; I normally try to ignore ads.

I refreshed several times just now to try and see how many were blockers and I stopped seeing ads in that spot all together.

Thank you for looking into it.

I'll try to get one next time it pops up. It was a Bloomingdales ad I believe.

Yes I still see the bloomingdales in that same position blocking the screen quite a bit.

I know I saw a banner type ad that did this at the bottom of the screen once, but it was in a place I don't normally scroll to.
