Default Sponsor Advertisement jumping around?

So is anyone else having the advertisement located right below the MOM photo (Currently Tire Rack) jumping around on them. It always jumps into frame right after I click on a thread to make a reply and get ready to click it jumps right under my mouse arrow and I end up opening up the Tire Rack ad. This has happened so often I begin to get curious as to if other members are having the ad jumping around on them. It's kind of like the page auto scrolling down to put the ad right where your going to click and if you don't wait and then re-adjust the page you open the ad, or am I just up in the night and need to drink some more Sailor Jerry rum and not be suspicious of these queer little things?

Greg:
I have experienced this same symptom on occasion..
I have even experienced the pages being huge/full on a simple reply
and cant figure out why...

Then the next topic/post and everything seems normal?
I have made mention to those that have the power to check into it..
How long have you been experiencing this issue? or is this just since the MOTM at the head of the table? (Top of the page)

Tried several times to reply and didn't get what you have described.
When I try to post a photo, and enlarge it then copy to paste it.
The process will disconnect me and I have to log in again and do it all over. Some times several times and I just give up. If it all worked perfect we wouldn't have anything to complain about, and that would be boring?

The only time I get content moving around is as the page is loading (as there is a ton of content loading from legit advertising to the forum itself). Once everything has loaded, it's solid, nothing moves out of place.

I'm using Firefox v34.0.5 for my browser. Which browser and version are you using Greg?

There was a period where it was happening to me all the time, every time I tried to click on something to open it, I would get the advertising opening up instead. It has since seemed to stop, but it is weird that it would randomly happen to different people.

I always use google chrome for browsing, so maybe it is something with the browsers

I thought the ads were pretty good these days. Like Ken I noticed they were getting a little aggressive & busy a few months ago, but I only see the usual banners now.

Why am I getting this ad for a vaporizer? It's funny to talk about the ads we are seeing. Cuz some reflect our browsing history.
