Banner ad overlaying home page
I keep getting UA ads overlaying the FT homepage banner(other pages are fine) in IE8. Doesn't happen on Firefox.

The overlay appears on all pages for me (using both Firefox or Chrome).
The most annoying aspect of the ad overlay is that it covers up the "Jump to Forums" links.
I realize there are links to the separate Forum sections available through drop down menu at the top of the page, but using that is a pain.
The absence of visible "Jump to Forum" links on each page reduces functionality and seriously impacts my user experience and enjoyment of Flyertalk.com

I was just going to post on this very topic. It isn't always UA - in the past weeks Delta among otherss have had similar ads.
The really annoying part is that it covers the "Jump to Forums" tab on the top of the first page. You can click on "forums" at the very top and then choose the one you want, but it is an annoying extra step.
Hate it. Make it go away. Please.

Close but not quite there yet...
Using Firefox, the banner ad on the home page no longer covers the "Jump To" links. ^
However, switching between various Forums & pages, the banner ad still DOES cover the "Jump To" links.
Thanks for working on this and looking forward to a complete resolution.
