DEAR AUDIOGON STAFF: Please remove/fix floating ads that block what we are reading!!!

Even on a high-rez MacOSX laptop, I've noticed as of late that in addition to all the ads previously added to Audiogon pages from all sorts of sponsors and vendors plus the unwanted long list of certain dealers ads taking precedence in the search results (they should have no more or less priority in results than any other ad that fits the criteria), we seem to have a new form of ad on this forum namely, ads that sit right over part of the topic or other posting you happen to be reading. This type of fly-over/pop-over ad is not uncommon in web UI development but they always have a close button of some form. The new ones here do not and they don't adjust as you scroll up or down either.

Audiogon Staff; Please fix this! I realize this is primarily a buy/sell forum and your business model has changed to favor sponsors, dealers and other advertisers of value to you but it is also about exchange of ideas and helping others in this hobby in various ways; that is very hard to do or to read someone's posted response when 1/4 to 1/3 of the right hand side of the entire posting is obliterated by an ad that won't go away.

Thank you.

Yes but it seems to have gone from constant over the first 24+ hours to sporadic (1 in 100 page reloads/transitions).  I think someone made some adjustments...
That’ll teach me to type a factual statement :-),...it just happened again 3 times in a row; VOXATIV and BOOST Mobile ads seem to be one to ignore boundaries and just drop themselves in over forum posts I’m trying to read.
Not me!

On the original topic, I did an inspect of the dynamic web page code for the pages where I've run across this issue and it seems to start with a sizing/placeholder declarative issue that does not appear to constrain or redirect the banner ads that come in if they are going to be rendered over other parts of the page. It's also always seems to be the same sub-frame/placeholder that has this issue.  That notwithstanding, the ads should be better behaved; I am however more than happy to keep a list of the ad's sponsors nearby as they keep showing up and commit to never considering their products :-) !
