I've posted this before and never gotten any response and as a paying member I think this an important enough complaint it should not be ignored.

Currently this obnoxious red and white advertisement for 5th Gear, some new show from Britain on the Discovery Channel, makes all of the drop down menus just below the main HDForums.com banner not accessable because they open and drop down over the advertisement and makes menu selections unaccessable. Some advertisements do not interfere, some do and the one I just mentioned has been doing that for days now. If you're not going to fix it then the drop down menu bar is pointless.

There is also a blue and black J&M Audio one that does it every time. Usually I can just hit refresh on the page or open a different drop down menu to access a different section of the forum and this will cycle the ad banner to a different ad that doesn't interfere but this asinine 5th Gear ad keeps repeatedly popping up even after like 15 refresh attempts and even closing the web browser and trying to open HDforums.com again in a new window.

If your using IE you might try going up to "Tools," on your

"Compatibility View" and add the forum to the list.
