Every time I open a page or click on a link, I see the next thing I want to click on and just as I am about to click, an advert appears at the top and shunts the rest of the page downwards so I end up clicking on something completely different as my mouse has now lined up with something else.

This is extremely..


...annoying.

I assume there is some sort of 'placeholder' that appears whilst the ad is loading. Can the 'placeholder' be the same size as the ad that will appear then there will be no need for the screen to resize later.

Sorry if I'm not up on all the techy jargon and hope this makes sense to someone. Thank you very

much.

Example. The ad between My Profile My Preferences My Mates and my original message above starts off as a small box and then expands to become the full add a few seconds later after the rest of the screen has appeared.

Ooh just noticed it happen when clicking on the main PistonHeads top left button. It resized and came up with that CarIconics ad.

Ps. you may want to add PistonHeads to your dictionary so it doesn't underline in red.

Still much better than before though. Thanks.
