Internet explorer on Windows 7 (yeah, yeah, I know...).

I'm getting adverts over the top of posts. Changing the width of the window just means the text wraps at a different point and is still hidden under the advert. Strangely quotes appear over the top of the advert though.

Anyone else getting this or do I just have to wait until work upgrade my machine?

Sadly not an option on my work laptop.

I notice all of us posting here have the problem on work machines, which suggests maybe the majority of people are running ad blockers on thier personal machines these days.

Looks like you're getting the frame but not the advert, some kind of pihole style blocker at your work maybe that just returns a blank image for the requested advert?
