    Today was the first day that I got these ads, and they prevent any movement on that page on my desktop. I'm on my laptop now, but so far, no ads. It is very annoying.

    Mine is movable, but today has been the least I've enjoyed using BA. Having sounds pop up while I'm talking to someone, or listening to music (much worse when cross referencing two beers and getting simultaneous ads) is a bummer.

    I have been using this site for a long time and may have to reconsider if they don't fix this. I was in the process of typing a lengthy note to a long time trade friend and it locked up. I couldn't scroll down to copy it to do a copy and paste. They page was shifting up and down enough to make me dizzy. When I refreshed, all that work was gone.

    Again, we're aware of the issue and it's under investigation. Posting in a redundant manner won't fix it quicker. Please be patient. Thanks,

    Update: The Ad Quality team assigned to this discovered the issue and resolved it ~4 days ago. We've been monitoring and have yet to see the ad (or receive any further reports/complaints from users), but will continue to monitor.

    I'm going to consider this closed for now, however, please note that once in a while one of these ads will no doubt get through, but it's much different than the most recent issue that plagued the site in May.

    Thanks,
