Firstly, I understand that Ozhonda needs advertising and as a part of most forums, it's a neccessary evil.
However, I gotta say that the Lewis Hamilton/F1 Vodafone rollover ad gives me the Sh++ts!
It's all too easy to accidently scroll the mouse cursor over it and it is usually reluctant to close. It has no close 'X' in the corner and seems to eventually roll back after I roll my cursor over it a few times. Im getting sick of Hamilton's big-eared mug leering at me (and refusing to go away) because i failed to avoid scrolling over the ad in order to click on 'settings' to view my subscribed threads. It's much easier to touch it than avoid it.
I realise that there's probably not much that can be done, and mods will say that " we can't choose the type of ads on the site", but maybe there is a way to at least illiminate the particularly annoying 'rollover' ads which adorn so many other sites.
I've also seen car commercials on the site (including Hyundai), but strangely enough, no Honda commercials. Why doesnt OH have ads by companies like Mugen or other aftermarket tuning companies? I'm sure that it would be more effective for advertisers than plugging the new Kia Sorrento! I'd like to hear from someone that bought a Hyundai because it was advertised on this site.
I hope that I'm not being unreasonable by posting this thread.
Regards
Mike
