I am tired of this "clash of the dragons" ad on the sidebars. For whatever reason it seems to accidentally get selected which is extremely annoying whilst in the middle of something. It happened 5 times today. Now normally I pause adblock on NG. This changed today because of this. I attempted to specifically block just that ad and it caused the formatting to go all spastic.

So please, move the ads off the sidebars or at least make them less of a target to accidentally select.

There's always options. Buy the Supporter upgrade. Use Ad-Block when playing games (presumably the reason why the side bars get clicked). Live with it, and support NG by clicking ads accidentally.... incidentally, that's what kept NG going through the dot com crash/bubble: support of the members. You could also load the swf in another tab, frame free.... Tools>Page Info, find the game file, copy and paste the file address into another tab, hit Enter. Don't think the medals would work though...

A lot of sites do the same thing. Some of them pop-up another tab or window, just by clicking anywhere on the page! The ads that pop-up after passing the cursor over them are the worst though, especially when they fuck with the layout of the page you're trying to view...

Is this particular ad, bleeding it's clickable nature into the body of the page? If so, PM Tom, and he'll get just as pissed as you, and put a stop to it. Tom's good that way.

If you have adblock, install another addon called "element hider for adblock plus". Right click on the icon and it should now have a "select element to hide option". Click on that and then hover over where the link is, and it should display the link. Just click on that and then click on ok and it will block it on every page on both sides.

If you use adblock you're a cunt.

Supporter upgrade is the clear answer.
