Ads making article unreadable


Recommended Posts

You guys need to look into the ads that are displayed on the site. I've run into several ads that cover up the text and you can't read the text. You can expand the window and it helps a bit but the text is still partially covered by the ad.

Example: neowin1.gif

/Edit: Silly beat me to it... just to fast.

those ads are made for a minimum of 1024*768 or maybe 800*600 will still fit in but not 648*480. :/

it seems to only happen IE browsers at least 6 with SP1. I dont have same problem with firefox. my resolution is 1024x768. it only happens when the browser window is not at full screen. so there's another IE problem. this sounds a good time to switch from IE to firefox.

Haven't you heard? All problems on earth can be solved if you switch to Firefox. :rolleyes:

My screen is set for 1024x768 and if I max the IE window it's ok but if I make it any smaller, even by 1/2 an inch, the ad starts to cover the text.

DIV's overlap in IE (and safari) and not in other browers. I don't think they're supposed to overlap.

I don't know how to fix it so it looks ok in all resolutions ... sorry :)

the ads are set to be displayed at all times so when you make the window smaller the ad won't go small but all the rest will hence the reason of the ad overlapping.

Mozilla - 800x600 - Ad box covers text (problem)

IE - 800x600 - Ad Box covers text (problem)

EDIT

Not problem no more. No ads = no problem. Host file people.

Are you mailing in cheques to compensate Neowin for your ad blocking?
