Just wondering if it's my computer or something new, but every now and then when I go to a forum thread, sometime this extremely large ad from the sites supporters seems to take over basicly the entire left side of my screen, and the forum is squished over to thr right of the screen, about 1/3 it's normal size.

Dave,
I have no idea what could be causing that. If you see it again try to make note of which advertiser it is and any other details. Or better yet if you can do a screen capture (print screen button...paste into MS Word), and send it to me that would be great.

Are you sure it's not some spyware pop-up ad that your machine is infected with?

Thanks,
Jim

Well, I got spybot, spyblaster and No-adware, and run them each day, so rarely show any spy or ad wear.
I'll try a screen capture next time it happens. Key word is try, since I have never done that. :-) :-) or make a note as to what advertizers it is.
