Why is there a giant advert on Aweb pushing the screen down? If I was the kind of person who finds that kind of thing annoying I'd be annoyed right now.

Hacked?
There's no giant ad on my screen. Has your browser been hijacked by a computer virus?
Giant advert on my screen too!
it takes up half the screen. And I am the kind of person who finds that kind of thing annoying. ;-)
I've got it too.
It fills up half the screen and then continues behind AW. It's really annoying.
Annoying, yes
But also very unattractive. Who designs these things thinking they will appeal?
Also extends
As it occupies the border, it also extends all the way down the page as well. If you inadvertently click on the black border either side of the page it's still the advert link.
Ad Blockers
I'm generally not in favour of ad-blockers, as free sites such as this one depend on ad revenue to pay their costs. But when an ad becomes this intrusive, it makes me seriously consider my position.
Thanks for your feedback - it's really valuable and we appreciate any comments we get. We'll bear it in mind for the future.
We've slightly tweaked the ad so it should be slightly less prominent. We run these kinds of ads every now and again and it's only running until midnight.
Once again apologies if it caused you any inconvenience and thanks for the feedback.
It sounds like it's done what ads do.......
make people take notice.
We can't expect a free forum, without some form of "cost"?
What ad?

My cost is the time I spend answering questions on the forum.
I have only two other words to say on the subject - Firefox & Adblock.

... made youtake notcie and make a conscious decision never to use TaxCalc :o)
I dd make a post too but on the correct forum, in time out on the discussiona board, not really a topic for any answers - having any answers clogged up by non-technical posts is almost as annoying as giant ads.
