Adverts "pulling" page downwards

[artesea]

Have noticed this for the last few days using IE6 at work.
When reading the forums the page jumps to the Google Ad at the bottom, which means I have to scroll back up to the where I was.
Anyone else noticing this with IE6 or other browsers?

Have noticed this as well on IE7.
I thought it was just me.

Nope only happens on this site. Think it's linked to the new type of Google ad which www.Swoopo.co.uk are running.

Funny, just to check, just tried IE 7.0.5730.11, did not happen for me!

Very funny! Tried Dave's Link, did not happen for me this time also, I don't know could be because of slow internet connection, Prehistoric PC (P4 2.0 Gig :D)! No idea! But funny all the same, and thank GOD!:D

Pretty sure it the one ad which is doing it, I've tried to contact Google to see if they can sort it out. The other option is for the Google Ad Admin of the site to block ads from www.Swoopo.co.uk
Guessing for those outside of the UK won't have the issue as Google change the ads depending on which country you are in.

That must be the reason! Both you guys are from UK. And actually we have ads on top of the page (big bum me :D!) unlike yours (bottom of page)

This is driving me mad, clicking on the link for the newest post just doesn't work with these ads as it moves the page.
Can anyone who has the Google Adsense admin add www.Swoopo.co.uk to the blacklist.

Hi,
The site admin is aware if the issue, and it will be looked into further on Monday :)

Thanks
