I noticed today for the first time ads at the top and bottom of the screens that are hugely invasive, moving/changing/blinking VERY fast. If I scroll to ignore them I lose part of the screen data.

I haven't seen any of the obnoxious ones, yet; I seem to get the Expedia ones all the time, myself.

As far as scrolling goes, though, you should be able to scroll past the banners and then ignore them. You shouldn't lose any screen data, since there's nothing on those lines other than the banners. For example, if you scroll down (past the top banner), you've only lost the banner; the FT navigation is under that banner. Same for the bottom banner: if you scroll up an inch, you lose the banner, but still maintain the Hop To links at the bottom.

Or do you mean something else with the term "screen data"?

Is there a specific ad that's causing these problems for you?
