Has an add that's not only taking up the top banner space but literaly SHRINKS the head fi front page AND takes up the entire SIDE bar
 
it's ugly and I don't like it shrinking things... why is it so invasive?
 
I guess we can say "it's mircosoft" but I'm still not pleased about it...

Is this the ad in question?



In addition to shrinking the page width, it also slows the page loading. Actually, even without that ad, I've noticed pages loading quite a bit slower as of late; with my netbook, a page sometimes takes up to ten seconds before becoming responsive with the latest Firefox and a clean install of Windows 7. Yes, I know we're talking about the almighty Atom, but even on a halfway decent computer, Head-Fi's pages load much slower than average.

I have no beef with ads, and no beef with MS advertising here, but this ad is incredibly intrusive.
