Banner Blocking "New Post"drop down

This is the most annoying thing to have to bounce around to different sections till I can use the "New Threads" drop down. It hides behind certain banners. And is inaccessible.
Can you do something about it?

Only one that is doing it to me now is the K&N filter one and that's only on my laptop. Actually, you can just get to the "New Post" and be able to click it...........it just doesn't seem like you could, but you can.
At least it will get you off to another banner that works. Either that or hit refresh, but they should have the page edited so the drop down is always on top. Lazy programmers!

Actually.....on my desktop at home I have an ad blocker and I get none.

we all know the K&N banner is causing issues but I just noticed that the new Chat banner is also busted. It blocks the new posts drop down AND the search functions.

How can we tell n00bies to search if it's not working?

Click on the "Start" button on your task bar.
Choose "Search" from the list.
Select "All Files and Folders" and type "hosts" (without the quotes) in the box, select Local Disk C: from the "Look In" menu and hit "Search".
When the Hosts file shows up, double-click on it and select NotePad when it asks you to choose a program to open it.
Once it is open, add this line to the very end of the file:

0.0.0.0 ad.doubleclick.net

Save the file, close and reopen your browser and, Voilá! No more banners.

I do hope they fix this some time soon. Though by the time they fix this one they will have put up another one that blocks it to take it's place.

advertisement should not interfere with the site's navigation. Period.

the I-text, the obtrusive banner ads. The downtime and unresponsiveness earlier. This place has been downhill since it was sold.

Adventure Quest - Free online RPG. Blocks the new post button.

So does the new Sanderson Ford banner. That is a local Phoenix dealer so it might have some other things on it in other locations.
