Part of the Furniture
Topmost in the web page we have initially a blank white space. 2-3 seconds later that's replaced with an ad that is large in vertical space. Larger than the original blank space.

So I go to any web page. Read. Start to click on some forum section or thread item and BOOM, the screen scrolls to make room for the tardy ad. So I wind up clicking on the wrong thing. Time after time. Makes me cuss.

today's fat ad is for WRT1900AC, with animation.

Grrrr. Frustrating to mis-click the mouse over and over again due to this.

I think the ads were what was making this site not work in firefox. I kinda tricked it to work in firefox since I think it was stalling on the ad and not wanting to load the rest of the page!

very annoying... also do we really need a flash ad for amazon shopping that has a rotating carosel....? it makes this site look like one of those shady sites....
 
That top of page ad that after a few seconds pushes the screen scroll down, is really mickey-mouse. All they need to do with their <expletive> ad is to make the vertical size stay the same after their animation ends.

I hope the forum is making a fortune on that Linksys ad.
