    Default Now the ads cover the login section

    I've just had six attempts at signing on to the forum. On each occasion a pop up ad covered the login area. After closing the ad and responding to Google's question, the login boxes were disabled.

    I understand we are enjoying a commercial website and ads are part of the price; but this is surely self defeating for all concerned.

    I had the same problem but I got round it by making my web browser window smaller, about half three size of the computer screen. Signed in and made it big again.

    A simple temporary work around - place the pointer icon in the "password" field then use "shift tab" to move the icon into the username field.

    Sorry about that folks. My fault.

    Those were not supposed to be big, still testing and only saw small ads as were supposed to be. They have now been removed.
