Ok, let me try to explain this the best that I can. So I have a bookmark for basketball.realgm.com. Fromt there, I have always hovered over the "forums" tab, which then brings down the drop-down menu of the basketball forums. I usually always click on the General Board. Lately when I go to click, an ad pops up (at the very top of the page) at the same exact time that I go to click on the GB link, and my cursor ends up right on top of the RealGM Soccer button, and I click that instead. Hopefully that makes sense. It has been doing this for weeks now. Even if I wait a few seconds to click, it ends up happening still.
BTW, I am using Chrome with ABP installed.

Joey,
Is it still doing this?

I've noticed this too when ad block is enabled. The ads are still coming in later, but it's causing the page to jump down a bit. I'll try to work on a solution.

If this is still a problem, trying using min-height in css. It's what I use to prevent page jumping.

The problem is the ad on the top is responsive and doesn't have a minimum or maximum height.

Oh, so it can be a variable height? Leaderboard and billboard?
Nothing you can really do about that. We just made the containing div the min-height of the leaderboard and sort of had to deal if it was the taller version.

The ad should be loading faster at least, which leads to less of a chance to click the wrong link before it jumps

This still happens to me, I just have trained myself to wait a second so the ad will load.
