Am I the only one who is having the small creep ad at the bottom of the page break the site?

When it comes up, all the drop down menu items unravel and cover the vast majority of the site, making it nigh unreadable, until I reload.

I am on Vista with IE8.

Is there any way to ensure that ads don't reuin the usability of the site? Also, as an aside, the number of take over and in-page pop-ups is getting a little out of hand. IGN doesn't even have this many ads and they have a much higher expense sheet than VGChartz.

Just want to make sure using the site is enjoyable for everyone.

I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.

I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?

I am having the same problem, but only when I am at work. My work browser is IE6 on XP Pro. At home I use Chrome on XP Pro with no problems, also my PS3 has no problems either.

Same problem. The ad slides up on the bottom of the screen, then the entire screen gets covered with the menu bar and the site is unusable.

I'm using IE7 on XP.
