I did report this one a while back and again a few weeks ago but it is still happening to me.

It doesn't seem as bad on my tablet as your screenshot, though.

Yes, sometimes, when I'm reading the forum. Generally fixes itself after I've reloaded the page. I've have an iPod Touch.

No, I dont. I haven't 'needed' to pay during the twelve years I've been using this site, the reason being I've been perfectly happy with the adverts staying where they're supposed to be.
Now, however, the adverts are encroaching onto the forum space, rendering the site very difficult to use, which is not the fault of STW Towers, it's the fault of whoever is designing adverts that just hijack the entire screen.
I've never needed to use any kind of ad-blocker, and the move away from Flash means no slowing down, so I'm more than happy to have the adverts, I do actually check them out from time to time; I only ask that I don't have a bloody great advert suddenly spread right across my screen, compromising my ability to actually use the site efficiently.
I don't think that's too much to ask for, really.

I've reported it to tech@ for you.

It apparently is an issue with some of the adverts on the page (the ones not booked directly with us) using odd code that messes with our layout. We're working on a temporary workaround that neutralises it, but we're also working on a more permanent solution that fixes it completely. As people have mentioned, it usually sorts itself out if you re-load the page.

Sorry that it keeps happening, we are aware of it and we're working to fix it.
Cheers

Thanks guys...did try reloading and it didn't fix it that time but you are aware.

I am paying by viewing and (accidentally) clicking on the ads, am I not? Do the Premium members actually pay more than the ad revenue generated by a normal browser? Who knows?
