Is it just me? Every thread in every Forum has the KISS Advertising Banner running through the middle of the posts. The banner appears n wont move from where it has decided to plonk itself! A great idea if it runs through the posts you arent interested in but flipping irritating if you are trying to read posts. Grrrr! I am using my HTC Wildfire, and yes i know its a relic but I LIKE IT ok?! Never had probs before. Hope Im not being singled out as an old fogey just cos i like my small, simple phone... :(

Having it locked to the bottom of the screen is the irritating bit! It was much better above the Bm headline.

I don't know. The top of the page is a really premium part of the site. Putting the banner there shifts all the genuine content of the page down. As many people don't scroll down when browsing the web it means i have to try to keep all the important content right at the top above what is known as the "Fold" (where the top of the page ends on most screens).

I'll think about it

Its still in the middle of my mobi screen .... Aaaaaaarrrgh, when i want to read something or worse still post something im have to enlarge the view so much before the banner disappears and gives me access to the post message button.

Im so pleased that it isnt just lil ol me that is struggling with the damn thing. ;)

Yep I get emoticon error message too, kind of need those to distinguish from being obnoxious or just taking the Micky

GBNP - please press REFRESH in your browser and tell me if that fixes it.

Emoticons - looks like IE11 broke them (I think the ad blocker is blocking it). I'm working on redesigning the entire forums section anyhow so I'll get the smileys replaced

My Blackberry has a small screen of which 2/3 is taken up with the advertising banner, making the forums very difficult to use. For Gawd's sake move it somewhere less intrusive!
