I must also add my distaste for the Western Union ad.

I swear If I see and hear another ad for Eysium (which is the AU default ad) I will SCREAM.
Yes, I can adblock, but adblock pretty much "non-tags" me for a possible revenue stream for gateworld.
I don't mind being a "possible", I loathe being a "EAT THIS MONKEY!!"

Update:
Darren's tried again to have the W.U. Ad removed or at least modified to turn it into a normal closed "Click to load" or "Click /hover to learn more" version,but unfortunately that can't be done by the Providers.
However...the ad run will end during December 20th.
Not the news we were hoping for,but at least the end's in sight.
Thank you all for your continued patience.The place to "Gate" to during Outages for updates and info:

Hopefully Darren will be able to to get the ad removed at source on the basis of what everyone's posted.

Could said ad be causing the left-of-center forum page position in the forum? I'm guessing here, but this ad, and others, aren't able to center themselves in the proper locations for ads, causing the forum page to load on the left side. I've seen the Jeep ad only on the GW homepage. Haven't seen the WU ad at all.

To do anything about any ads ,Darren needs caps and the code jel mentioned if possible.
The more info he can send ,the faster he can contact the ad suppliers.
Are any of you able to use the Snipping Tool to "grab" the latest ads? That might be a way to save the info without having to go to third-party sites or go through the whole ad babble.The place to "Gate" to during Outages for updates and info:

It's probably being hyped to promote the dvd release,was misloaded by whoever hosts it and should vanish soon ....however that doesn't help your situation!
Have you got the Snipping Tool available in your controls?
