is this a cunning ploy to get people to click the ads ;)
im running Win XP Pro SP2 with IE 6.0.2900
Cheers
this is a known problem with the layers function and the display of Flash ads.
You will see what I mean in the sense that it does not happen when a non flash ad is displayed.
Im sure Iain is already aware of this.....but it wont be fixed in this version...

forgot to say, there is a link to the forums in the top left hand content box that does the same as the drop down for the time being...

There's nothing I can do about this unfortunately. There is a workaround for Internet Explorer but it's reliant on the owner of the advert adding a parameter to the code surrounding the Flash movie and since a lot of our ads are generated by Google and other companies using some javascript I can't add this parameter in myself. I have spoken to David and we are looking at ceasing Flash ads in this location to get round the problem.
There is another solution but it involves a large amount of Javascript which would slow down loading times and probably wouldn't work cross browser so it would be detrimental to implement it
What we really need is for the whole world to encourage Macromedia to sort this out, right guys? :)
thanks for the feedback
