Please, please, please get rid of it.
I am on Firefox on a Mac.
It is only happening on the Flylady thread in Good Housekeeping but it is on both sides, it is there all the time and it moves around making it impossible to concentrate on reading or posting and it is triggering my visual aura thing which leads to a migraine.
It is truly horrible.

I keep getting this, it is horrible! I am on a laptop, and get it mostly when on 'active' and then less often when I click on the thread

I'm on chrome and have something going on round the borders of my screen. It looks like there is a window behind the one I am using, but there isn't iykwim.
It comes in and out. I can't see what it's for or anything, but very annoying to see this thin column (no more that a half centimeter) moving about on the edge of the screen.
Also only happening on the FLY thread in housekeeping.

I'm on Google and the Karcher ad is infuriating. I've turned off Goodhousekeeping now. Please make it go away MNSNet Headquarters!

Me too, Karcher here and I'm on Safari. I'm on the same thread as some of the other posters here and the box for posting a further message in has disappeared too.

I assumed it was because I have been researching pressure washers. Clearly not.

Laptop, IE. karcher, flashing through various pictures/text. It is migraine inducing. Sent a report via report post function.

It's happening to me today too and it's maddening. It's when I'm on a Flylady thread in the Good Housekeeping topic. The ad is always for Karcher. I had to leave the thread because I can't concentrate. Other people on the thread are complaining too.

I am on a laptop. And I'm using Firefox.

Have just checked and they come up when I press the topic 'good housekeeping' v annoying.

dabbler · 21/05/2013 10:41

I have the same ads and the worst thing is they keep moving so can't concentrate on the thread. I was on a good housekeeping thread and they are for karcher I think. I am on a laptop.
