Guys, am I the only one who is having trouble clicking things thanks to this ad? Also, what do you think of the Escapist having advertising that's so pervasive in their site?

Yes. It's currently making Articles unreadable, and when I try to click something on the side (a thread, for example) it decides that I clicked the ad and redirects me to "The Darkness" homepage.
What you shouldn't do is use Adblock, the Escapist doesn't like that. Also, from what I've read, The Darkness II is an average game... I will probably end up playing it.
I'm not having trouble clicking or navigating around, but the first few times I saw it I reloaded the page expecting a coding error to remedy itself. Ads get pretty out of hand when you assume first off that they're a mistake. It basically was and still is the page, because there's no white content boxes that hover above the image, all the text and links are intruded upon by the ad, rather than their being a clear border where ad ends and site content begins.
It happened in Chrome for awhile, though after various refreshes it doesn't seem to be a luck of the draw issue anymore. All I can say is it wasn't a mistake on the admin's part, it was dynamically fitting to screen resolution and didn't move when you scrolled, so if it was an error it was a well coded error.evilneko said:
