im having trouble with a red dead redemption advertisement coming up in a box that seems impossible to close and always covering the origional post on every thread, making it very difficult to know what they are about? is there a way to close or stop this advertisement

Same here, it's getting increasingly irritating. I have to literally highlight the text that I couldn't see & paste it into word just to read it.

Same here. I just posted this in my own topic and a moderator has now locked my topic and re-routed me to this forum.

I see that someone has had the time to look at my post and re-route it here but hasn't actually had the time to post a solution on here.

Yep i am suffering the same problem. It started with the New Vegas advertisement and now the Red Dead one. I guess that's what we get for not being subscribers! Tho it is effecting the performance of the site quite dramatically. Hopefully the next advertisement's will not impede our topic viewing one can only Hope.

How do you expect a Moderator to help with a site problem?

Yeah - all we can try to do is keep the reports organized so that when the actual techs/devs see the discussion it makes some kind of sense. To that end, I'll mention this thread, which has a screen shot (and might have been the first report). I went looking for this issue yesterday and couldn't find an instance of it. (I was probably logged out.) I saw ads, but they were all staying in bounds. I'm assuming it must still be an issue for some users, but I wasn't able to reproduce it the last time I tried. When it comes to the game-specific boards I always recommend logging in directly to GameFAQs where the boards really live and using the boards that way exclusively. As always, users can do that right now.
