Thread: drop down ads

    I have an overwhelming urge to punch Lewis Hamilton hard in the face...but don't want to hurt my screen!

    I don't mind ads, but the Foxtel & Vodafone ads (especially) are really hindering the ability to navigate this forum. Surely there has to be a balance which can be achieved to keep everyone happy?

    I haven't seen this Ad drop down you are all complaining about.I might have to disable the above to see what all the complaining is about.

    It's not worth Complaining if you don't do anything about it, the solution is simple

    from the developers
    these ads are designed so the ad reverts to its original size once you move the mouse away from it and particularly once you take your finger off your mouse. That's the IAB standard. If this is not happening then it may be more of a technical issue that I can work to resolve for you. If your users are looking to avoid them I would suggest maybe putting up a message to let them know that as long as they don't go over the ad with their mouse, it won't expand. And then if they do, and they want the ad to go away, just move the mouse away from the ad or take their finger off the mouse for a second and it will go back to normal.
    if they dont behave as above and you can replicate it at will, please let me know and they will look at why...

    Just tried something... need some info from those having problems.

    they all go away when I move the mouse away from them in firefox but not in IE....

    Is it just an IE thing or are people getting it on firefox too?

    At work, running XP and internet explorer 7, the vodafone and foxtel ads don't retreat. I can refresh and repeat at will. All streaming is blocked so I don't know if that affects it.

    I'm using IE8 and the adverts didn't retreat when the mouse was moved away. I tried refreshing the screen which someone else suggested and that seemed to work.
