Is anyone else having problems with the damn Edmunds.com banners that enlarge and then cover the area to type your post?
Super - annoying!!!!!
Please remove! or else have them not invade the space where we type our posts.

Same here, yea Firefox. Though sadly I still have to put up with the banner ads when I use my iphone.

Yes one just got in my way as I was typing this. They are definitely annoying.

I have a list of so many issues with this site and I sill use it, more of an addiction really... I would love to know how to get rid of those ad banners plus on the homepage the 5 stories...you can minimize them but how do you delete them so you don't have to scroll down to see the first thread. What ever happened to content is king and not the stinkin ad banners or forced functionality.

Ok, all better...will continue with my addiction.

Use Firefox, get the addons called "noscript" and "adblock plus".

spectre · 04-08-2009, 03:51 PM

I have those but don't always have firefox...due to device.
Oh well, life goes on...

You don't need adblock. I will have the Edmunds ad flagged to be fixed or removed first thing tomorrow morning. It is an error either in the coding of the ad or from the ad provider. We don't run ads that block the screen. It is not on purpose. Thanks.

*whew* I was going to boycott Edmunds and go to autos.msn.com only.

At least the Circuit City ads that used to cover up the whole page are gone.
