am i the only one that can't get rid of the ad covering up the search, user cp, etc.?

So the last couple of days when i have come on pcmech there is a really annoying ad that is covering up the 'search' function and everything else on the top of the page. I tried clicking on the ad think it would go away but didn't work. Ive been looking for an 'x' somewhere around the ad but cant find one. This is really annoying. Never had this problem before. I tried on firefox and IE. any ideas? THanks.

Haven't experienced it. Are both IE and Firefox up to date? Do you have any add-ons or modifications that could be causing this problem?

Send a message via AIM to Alaron
Post a screenshot of the ad too so we know which one.

Wow, thats all screwed up.

That is more of a page formatting issue than the ad itself. The title bar is all split in half. Did you check the updates and add-ons for FF and IE?

Clear your cache files on Firefox and try accessing the website after that.
