The problem is ongoing for both text and graphic ads.
The problem only seems to occur on the first advertisement on the top right. Advertisements further down the page seem to format OK.
Typing this message is a nightmare because I have an advertisement blocking out half this reply so I can't see what I'm typing.

I was looking at this thread as part of due diligence before opening a new one, and now that I see the problem it describes, I'd throw in that I continue to have this problem often when I'm editing a comment. When it happens, I click [Save] before even writing, and then click [Edit] again back on my original comment, and it's gone --well, it's there but out of the way. Happened last, the day before yesterday. Now, to my new thread...

both yesterday and today and using both safari and firefox, every time i edit a post, there is an ad blocking the right half the edit window along with the save, cancel & go advanced buttons. the only button that is visible is one called "edit" (just to the left of the intruding ad) and when i click it, it brings me to the "advanced edit window so i can save my changes.

Again!!
After the problem not being evident for several weeks, it's happened again the past two days. This time it's the AMEX Gold Business Card ad on the right side of the page blocking parts of the first several forum threads then protruding into the first individual's thread opener no matter what thread I open, and erasing any sense of what's being said.
Getting to be a nuisance that shouldn't be happening.
How about getting a better fix on it this time, FT techs!!
Thanks, and Happy Holidays.

This has happened several times over the last couple of days - over both vomments and PMs I'm writing - and isn't amenable to the "fix" I described above. In the PM mode, I find I have to "copy" everything I wrote and start over -- e.g., close and open the page again until it doesn't happen, then paste what I wrote before. Fortunately everything hidden copies. But this is a very long remedy.

After a tardy proof read, I was going to edit "vomments". But maybe I've coined an apt word......
