New Banner Adds

The new banner adds overlay the "Quick Links" drop down items and get in the way. Very annoying.

I think somebody posted earlier on how to turn them off. Mine are turned off in Internet Exploder 7 but for the life of me I don't remember how I did it.

Yeah, I can turn them off and use the drop down menu but they change addresses so I have to do that every time they block the menu. It's not all the time either. It seems some ads. get overlapped on top of the banner.

I just tried it. If I select "today's posts" then it gets overlaid.

Interesting, I use Firefox on Linux. But I don't see any banner ads anymore either. Wonder where they went?
