Ads partly blocking text

    Hi guys, I have an issue when browsing boards from an iPad using Chrome as the browser. Ads on the right hand side overlap and block text in people's posts by about 4 or 5 characters e.g. there's an ad for enable ireland currently on the site that does this. It makes posts harder to comprehend and is annoying! Photo attached.

    Edit - The issue doesn't appear in Safari

    I have the same issue but with safari on the ipad. Advert on the rhs of the page is overlaying the forum, cutting off the text.

    I've been having this as well using safari and is really annoying. Hope there's a fix.

    I'm getting the same problem on the laptop.

    Ditto here with safari on ipad, its frustrating!!
    When is there likely to be a fix?

    I haven't had this problem since making that post. I wondered whether it was to do with not posting for a while and noticed all other posters in this thread hadn't posted in at least a month, and now again, poster above 1st post in 7 months.
    Coincidence?

    Strangely you might be right! The ads have now disappeared on Safari (though still there on chrome!) very odd!!

    Just logged in via chrome and ads have vanished! Whoop!

    Nice one. Ah well I guess as long as it's working. If it happens again we can pop in say hello. :)

    I think you might be correct, I haven't had the problem since posting. Must be a script to deliver ads to users who prefer to browse and are infrequent posters

    This is driving me mad while trying to browse the site, is there any fix in the pipeline?

    Same here, using Safari on the iPad.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
