there is an advertisement drop-down that opens up whenever i open one of the questions. it blocks a good portion of the question box. is there a way of getting rid of this so i can see all the box?

Dont know mate relly pisses me off too.

badog5 & Northy,
I am trying to reproduce the issue you described. Maybe you be able to help me? It would really help me out if you could provide the page URL (you can copy this from the browser's address bar), and a description of the advertisement blocking parts the page.

Thanks in advance,
Dave
