Anyone else find this irritating?
Jan 9 2011, 10:18 PM EST | Post edited: Jan 9 2011, 10:18 PM EST
I am a member/creator of numerous wetpaint sites but as off very recently I have found something that really irks me... Whenever I go to a page I get this ad for that movie The Dilemma popping right into my line of site. I can't see a part of the page I'm on and it really, really, bothers me. I'm not interested in purchasing the upgraded version of wetpaint just to get rid of ads, I have never minded them before, they haven't bothered me. This one is the only case where I am aggrivated out of my mind and frankly it's counter-productive to it's purpose.. I had no desire to view this movie before, but now the very mention of the title just puts me in a bad mood. I realize this may sound dramatic, but I know I'm not the only one among the sites that I'm on that feel this way about it. It hampers editing, and blocks view of information and media that may fall under it.

Now moving on from the rant.. I suggest finding a way for ads that exceed the margins of the side of the page like this (that you can't simply close out of), either make a function to close/minimize them, or find a way for the ad to push the page away from it so that it doesn't cut into the page itself. Do you find this valuable?

This error has been reported. Its happening on most wetpaint sites. Do you have Firefox?..Use the toolbar at addons..
click the Firefox icon & enter ADBLOCK PLUS..
once you install it, you'll get a little STOP sign in the top of your Firefox..should delete all adds. if not, it being a Sunday, it will have to wait till Monday untill someone sees these complaints. Do you find this valuable?
