Not sure what is causing this, but it's been happening randomly for 2 days now.

Happens every time the Home Depot ad is in.

Speevy · Apr 21, 2012

Happened to me too. My reply is not to be pushed aside!

WillyFive · Apr 21, 2012

I have been getting that too.

The Interrobanger · Apr 21, 2012

Been happening to me on a regular basis for about a week.

GK86 · Apr 21, 2012

Happen to me once.

FStop7 · Apr 21, 2012

That's a neat faucet, did you buy one?

Chinner · Apr 21, 2012

i'm so conflicted on what to buy i don't know what to do!

BeesEight · Apr 21, 2012

I too seem to get this with Home Depot. Perhaps that company is just really pushy.

bluehat9 · Apr 21, 2012

Only happened to me once after the "Announcement" appeared. I thought it was because of that, but I haven't had a problem since.

ShinNL · Apr 21, 2012

Some ads are probably floated left. You need a <div></div> with clear:both after the div (that has the ad in it) to fix this / prevent this.

Suairyu · Apr 21, 2012

Also I saw an ad for a cd-key re-seller in the Diablo beta thread.

MooMoo · Apr 21, 2012

Haven't had this particular issue but I have noticed the ads have been making this site really laggy. The site will load minus the ad and I can't actually browse until the ads appear. It's quite annoying.

Derrick01 · Apr 21, 2012

At least they're not giving away system crashing malware anymore!

Stumpokapow · Apr 21, 2012

browser, os, try refreshing, try clearing cache, etc.

I've had it happen a few times but normally when I refresh it goes away, and it's on a machine with a very weird combination of addons (HTTPS Everywhere especially tends to wreak havoc on certain stuff)

Clearing cache doesn't work, it still happens. I'm on Chrome, by the way. Windows 7 and OS X Lion.

Mine isn't as extreme as having site elements pushed aside, though. Jus the ads being on the side.

I saw one of these about a week ago. I should have took a screenshot.

Violet_0 · Apr 21, 2012

I haven't had this problem with my superior browser yet (Opera)

Drencrom · Apr 21, 2012

I know a simple and efficient fix OP...

Get a better browser

ChuyMasta · Apr 21, 2012

Hasnt happened to me yet.

Gospel · Apr 21, 2012

Yea, happened to me too.

Lactose_Intolerant · Apr 21, 2012

BY2K works for MOEN.

There's no ads for faucets in the OP though...

I think we came to the conclusion that it doesn't get you banned, people just think "maaan, what a lame guy".

Awkward.

And such a large picture too.

PhoenixDawn · Apr 21, 2012

I've had this happen a few times with that same ad, but it usually goes away if I clear the cache and refresh.

I wish the gif experts could put bish's avatar into Joker's face and then 'BANNED' in the end.

Tuck · Apr 21, 2012

Been happening a lot too, but not all the time.

EDIT: Oh Redux...

Goron2000, that image is amazing.

Lionel Mandrake · Apr 21, 2012

I got it a couple of times on my netbook. Hasn't happened on my desktop.

DietRob · Apr 21, 2012

I haven't seen this happen in Chrome.

narcosis219 · Apr 21, 2012

Firefox here and it happens about 25% of the time.

5amshift · Apr 21, 2012

In Chrome the ads seem fine to me and others.

Sylver · Apr 21, 2012

The best thing you can do is use QuickJava extension for firefox, and disable javascript and flash.

The Lamp · Apr 21, 2012

Not as bad as the neogaf ads that start playing music in the middle of thread browsing. Ugh. I hope I'm not the only one that's had that happen to them.

Ok, I laughed pretty hard.

Can I have your pc Redux?

Joel Was Right · Apr 21, 2012

I'm pretty sure many Gaffers use adblockers without realising its an offence members have been banned for (permanently?).

tokkun · Apr 21, 2012

Ban jokes aside, if you encounter a malicious ad, you can use AdBlock to manually block it while allowing the non-malicious ads to continue displaying.

If you smell burning, it's probably the generators acting up. Report it anyway.
