Ads covering parts of thread 

Post#1 » by magicfan04 » Tue Mar 18, 2008 4:25 pm

randomly when im on the forums the ad on the right hand side, the long thin one will be covering parts of the thread. it stretches from the "quote" button at the top of the post onward, so im i cant read like 15% of the first post or two. this is getting really annoying and even when i refresh the page, it still happens

What browser are you using?

I only get what you're referring to when viewing RGM on my mobile device, but never from an actual computer....

Its happened to me when the post bandwith is a little bigger so the post box is a little wider and the ad placement doesnt adjust accordingly.

Yup, it happens when some poster decides to make a long post with no breaks. Let me try to replicate the problem in the next post.

See - piece of cake (see OP).

Someone has to edit whoever has the long post with no breaks.
