Anyone else ever notice, when you are trying to search the banner overlays the search box and you have to keep refreshing the page until it finally works. Seems to just do this on some of the banners.

I have the same problem, using firefox here. I normally just hit refresh and it seems to work afterwards.

Annoying as ****, nonetheless.

It seemed to me that some of the banners are set to be in front of the drop down menus.

Some companies banners don't do this, but a few of them do.

I just added the search page to my favorites, so I don't have to fight with it.

Try it when the "New Take-Off OEM Parts" banner comes up.

It shows a Red 05 on the left and some tires or a tire/wheel on the right.

Well, I am running Firefox 1.5.0.4 and Adblock plus, and I have no idea what "banner" you are talking about because I can't see it.

I have never had an issue with the JEGs banner.

It seems that only certain banners cause the issue.

I suspect that there is a setting for how each banner displays.
The site shown by Strype is probably set to "Always on top" (or whatever teminology is used)

I would think it to be an easy fix, once the problem banners are identified.

I think we determined that there was an issue.

Is there any word on whether or not it can be fixed?


I had this happen to me again today. Not a big deal to work around it, but it is a constant nagging problem.

Daggar-
I am not sure who would be able to make the correction but maybe you do?

It's when Flash banners come up. There is no real fix. Its a layering issue the way the browsers handle display. Just refreshola.

Yeah, I got sick of refreshing 5 times before I got the right banner. I added the search forum to my fav's.
