There is a State Farm/USA Today pairing in the Ad monkey space that goes top/bottom instead of side by side that is covering up a portion of the posts following the space. All the others are still side by side.

I am in Chrome and tried zooming in and out, nothing changes it.

Last experienced it here:

I have gotten the same thing twice...goes up/down and covers 1-2 posts (depending on size).

Getting random pop-ups for "Play Candy Crush Saga" in the Neyland Stadium thread, running Mozilla on a Samsung Galaxy tablet Android.

Candy Crush is the bane of my existence. They sneak those ads in, make them impossible to find, and are raking in the cash and approaching IPO.

I'll try to find them, but I had basically no luck last time. Couldn't even figure out what position they were coming from.

I need to figure out how to spoof a tablet user from Firefox so I still have access to Firebug, or do the same from Chrome and learn how to use debug.

Is anyone else having issues with the Toyota ad that is currently located in the middle of the page when you load a thread? It seems to expand and begin playing video even when my cursor does not scroll directly over it, which is really frustrating, as it momentarily freezes my page.

Mobile device (if so, which) or PC/Mac? I assume the latter since you mention a cursor. When you say "middle" do you mean the AdMonkey position after the first post? If so, is it the left or right ad? Thanks!

I'm using a Mac and yes, I meant the AdMonkey position after the first post. I'm not sure what you mean by asking whether it is the first post, as it is the only AdMonkey ad I see on my page. Here are two screen shots that demonstrate what I'm talking about:

The ad in question:

And how it expands as I scroll down the page, often even if my cursor does not directly pass over the ad while it is minimized:

Sorry, Clarity. I don't typically complain about stuff like this, but this add is making site navigation somewhat cumbersome for me. I wonder if it is just a Mac/Firefox issue?

No no, please do complain. It's the only way I know there's a problem, because I only see a portion of the ads even with my 10-minute perpetual reload, because what shows for a Firefox/Win7 user in Columbus, isn't necessarily what's shown for an iPad Mini user (for example) in Monterey. Garbage like that shouldn't be on the site, if it is indeed expanding on its own. So no worries there.

I only ask all the questions because it helps me narrow down the source. The screenies definitely help.

I'm looking for it, and will nuke it if/when I find it. In the meantime, I apologize for the annoyance.

A bit more info to add based on observations made the past few minutes while navigating the site. The ad expands when my cursor passes directly over it (which is to be expected, but is a bit annoying given the location of the ad, since scrolling up and down the page with a Mac touchpad often leads one to unwittingly expand the ad). However, it also expands when my cursor passes over any location where the ad is designed to expand when triggered. In other words, the ad will expand whenever my cursor passes over the portion of the thread where you see the ad in the second pic I posted above. If I keep my cursor all the way to the right of the screen, I can avoid the problem.

I'm glad there's at least a band-aid solution. I haven't yet been able to sort out where it's coming from, but I will keep looking.
