    Main Ad shifts to the right

    Look at the picture - this isn't the first time I've seen it. For what it's worth I only saw this on 17" 4:3 monitors.

    Re: Main Ad shifts to the right

    Is it only that Intel ad that messes the display up? Do any other ads show to the right like that?

    I have another 'fix' requested for that ad which might help resolve this issue too.

    It's just the "main" ad only that I noticed - not sure if it always was the "Intel ad". Thanks Brad.

    Just to vconfirm: it appears to be the Intel Ad - here is another occurence (now it happened when editing post).

    It is just the Intel Ad that's causing this issue. I am using IE9 browser. In the screen shot, I am not logged into VB Forums, but you get the picture.

    I've reported this to our ad operations group.

    Re: Main Ad shifts to the right

    I'm on VBForums a good deal and I didn't see this problem until just a minute ago. It's obviously not fixed yet. You'll notice in the above screenshots the vertical alignment is ok but in this case it's off along with the horizontal alignment.

    Is this ever going to be fixed? It's still happening.

    I was told the ad was removed from this site. Hmmm......

    I don't think I've seen this again since I posted here on July 21 and if I have I'm sure I haven't seen it happen in the past couple weeks.
