There is an ad that pops up and covers the page.

Is it only this specific ad or all ads?

Also, is this something new that just started?

Is it on your PC?

What OS?

What Browser?

Yup, this morning. It was a rotating ad, meaning more than one advertiser. I got the Dolphin Tale ad (http://www.wengerna.com/?utm_source=out ... tdoorhubad) and the one shown in the attached photo. I noticed that it was in the wrong place on the page. The page top was blank from any ads and it covered up the navigation links we use below. Not really a popup, in the wrong place.

Got it. Ok. This is the same problem happening with all ads on mobile browsers and is something I'm working on fixing.

Because of the forum conversion, and because the forum is now written in PHP and the website in C#, I've had to come up with a new menu system for the website that works for both... and it's almost done, and when I roll it out I will make sure the ad stays where it belongs, right above the menu bar. Soon. The menu might even work for mobile browsers better.

I noticed it happening again this morning. The ad is in the navigation menu bar area. If I click back and then forward, it usually places it back up on the top of the page. Seems to wander down the page.
