Pop up ads in classifieds.....

[Pat H]

Apologies if this is a re-post.

The recent pop up ads in the classifieds are a bit of a pest.

There was one for the AA that just wouldn't go away, even if you clicked on the link then tried to close the page.

Nothing I tried would shift the pop up so that I could see the car in the classifieds.

I accept that these pop ups are a necessary evil, but how do I close them so that I can see what is underneath?

Cheers,

Doesn't sound like a popup.

Is it a skyscraper (tall, narrow) that is appearing over the text? Could be a formatting error rather than a popup.

Do you know what resolution screen you're running?

[Pat H]

Ah, yes....

It is a skyscraper, not a pop up.

Currently running 800x600.

Through Firefox, should that make any difference....

Is it on every advert on or one in particular?

[Pat H]

The AA one was impossible to get shot of yesterday.

The only one I have seen today was a Renault one, which was the same.

Sorry, I meant is it a particular classified advert or all of them?

Which page were you looking at?

[Pat H]

This one, for starters.

When I first clicked on the top classified ad, the ad was covered with this "skyscraper", which wouldn't go away. So I had to close the advert and try again.

It seems to have gone now.

Is there a simple way of shutting each skyscraper without coming out of the classified ad and trying again?
