Re: Adverts blocking search boxes and making things unclickable (wow addons)

I sometimes cannot get the orange "add" button to work when trying to post a comment on an addon page. I'll click it over and over but nothing happens. I also tabbed to the button and tried to activate it with <spacebar> and <enter>, but that didn't work either. I eventually was able to post a comment by navigating to the second page of comments for the addon and then the "add" button worked. I'm using Fx 3.0.5.

EDIT: The comment system is seriously hosed. I tried to delete one of my comment for the addon "Item Notes". It pops up a window that has "are you sure <OK> <CANCEL>". I click OK and the popup goes away but nothing happens and the comment is still there. I then tried to post a reply to the comment that I couldn't delete and the "add" button wouldn't work again. This site has some issues; too bad it seems to have more addons than the other sites I've checked or I'd use them instead.

yeah add ons really work its best on firefox so you need to install it. however installation is not that long, better try it there.

Just installed NoScript which is a firefox addon which blocks adds etc unless you enable them. Now so far I can use the site fine

I'm having the same problems, am unable to update addons past the first page because of advert strip.

I would say that it is on Curses end then if it shows in both apps. I block all advertising so I don't get this problem. GL and let's hope they fix it soon.

If this is page in question.

I'm using IE6 and don't have any issues.

Edit: But I don't have any advertising showing up at all.

I also get this error:

I am also on the latest FireFox with no issues. How does it look in IE?

On the WoW updated addons page I cannot click on 1,2,3,4 or next buttons becase the sites adverts are overlapping and blocking them. An example right now of this is from where i typed cannot after that word i am uable to click in this text box like something is blocking me. (using latest fire fox)
