Please let me know if it's still occurring.
It should be fixed now.

Thanks!

I know how to do a screen shot, but once you do the screen shot and save it as a file, how do you attach it to a post. Thanks

FWIW, the advertisements work fine when looking at a forum but once I click through to a thread, they are all wonky like the screenshot posted in post number six.

Also, I'm running Firefox 3.6.8 with Mac OS X 10.6.4, if that matters at all.

Getting exactly same screen problems as bhat, bear and itsme. Google ads are covering up text in the posts. VERY annoying.

Exactly as Kevin describes it. In threads ads are misplaced, forum lists and even in this "reply" editor all is OK.

I don't know if what I'm doing is the best way, but what I did was:

1) ALT+PrintScreen to take the screen shot picture
2) Open Microsoft Paint & CTRL+V to paste the screen shot into a picture file.
3) Save as a JPEG
4) Upload to my Picasa website (picasaweb.google.com - create an account off a gmail account if you have one, or create a new one)
5) In Picasa, there's a place that you can click that says Embed Image - copy and paste the URL information, but edit it down to the part that starts with "http://lh4.ggph******.jpg" (your URL may be different - but this part is hidden inside the coding - where the **** is the rest of the URL.
6) Type [img] (the web address from step 5) [/img]

I'm sure there's a better way, but that's how I did it...I think pictures have to be hosted somewhere else - you can't just save a picture in a post (as far as I know, but I'm not a very tech-savvy person).
