Argh! This is exactly the sort of exposure the marketing men wanted to create. I'd much rather start a thread about my Nissan Cashcow suffering From DPF clogging, diesel runaway, failed ABS system and how the unsympathetic Nissan dealers are using technicalities to weedle out of warranty claims. My wife and children literally died. Well it could be true. ;)

I've reported this and will do so again. For the moment, putting your mouse near the left margin and moving it to the left gets rid of it - at least for me.

Use Firefox browser and install the adblock plus plug in and you will find the internet a much more pleasant ad-free experience.

I wouldnt mind it if it just stayed within the boundaries of the advertising section, i'd still see it, i'd still ignore it, i still wouldnt buy one.

When adverts come on your TV they dont run across the side of the TV and leap onto your washing machine do they? No they dont, they stay where they're meant to.

Will try this - hope the HJ tech folk understand that THIS IS A MAJOR P*** OFF. FOR ME IT IS ACROSS SCREEN AND I HAVE TO SCROLL ONTO IT TO GET RID OF IT

For those with Internet Explorer, you may have "pop up blocker" - look under "tools" on your menu bar.

Agreed THIS ad is intrusive ... the reasons for ads is understood and reasonable (essential?) but not intrusive ones blocking the discussion ie the reason readers look at the page in the first place ....
