Verizon banner ad annoying

That ad is so big it blocks the sign on box and is appearing at the top of every page. I know the site needs money to operate but dang, that's annoying as heck.

Yes, that Verizon ad is horrible! It is poorly coded for this page. On my Android tablet (Marshmallow 6.0.1) it covers a significant amount of the page making it nearly impossible to click the other areas of the page without reloading and clicking before the banner appears.

UPDATE: that is definitely a bug. Page is fine on Firefox browser. You can report the ad to Google AdWords for policy violation. Click the little blue speaker looking icon located in the top right corner of the banner ad, then fill out the form. Choose"other" where it asks what the issue is with the ad, then choose flash ad to include a screen capture.

besides, the site makes $75 for each registered vendor per month, the advertising is just a bonus.

I try to not browse on my phone because the site will randomly direct me to a scam website and I cant back out. I end up closing my browser and do something else. I only use my PC to use the forum anymore.

I agree. That verizon ad is just ******* stupid. Im ready for you guys to charge members an annual fee so we dont have to deal with that bullshit. Excuse my language, but this is in fact bullshit. Am I on pornhub or rx7club?

in all seriousness, while the Verizon banner is annoying on my laptop too, the only time the ad draws over the site's navigation buttons is when viewing the the Website on my Android tablet in desktop (not mobile site) running the latest OS (6.0.1) and while viewing in Chrome.

I don't see the draw-over error on my Android tablet with Firefox browser. I don't see the draw over error on my google nexus phone because I see the mobile site. I also don't see the draw-over error on my laptop with any browsers.
