It's no big deal to make edits, I suppose, but I wonder if someone could set the aspect of these pop ups to make them scroll out of the way or disappear when the typing starts.

I'm using a Mac plus Safari and Firefox...have noticed the problem in both browsers. It doesn't happen all the time but often enough to be a bit irritating. Thanks.
Do you have the pop-up blocker in use and are you using the FlashBlock extension? I haven't seen these ads at all on FT, using the above mentioned options.
