question about the battlefield advertisement that is taking up a third of the screen inside all the GS forums.it is actually obscuring the top posts from all TC on the boards. How can i make it so I see the entire page and topics?

A screen shot would probably help clarify what you're seeing and show an example of a specific board that was affected. I logged out and could not reproduce this; the closest I got was a GameStop preorder promotion for the game, and it wasn't covering anything else up, so it may not have even been the same advertisement. The problem with a lot of advertisements is that they are geolocated, so the ads someone in one part of the world sees are not likely to be the same as the ones someone somewhere else sees.

Good grief. It looks like it's actually one of GameSpot's own promotions. Are you in the UK or thereabouts? The image I found that looks like the one you posted is this. I have two suggestions. First, look over the initial posts of the bad ad thread, and try to report this there, providing all of the requested information that you can. If you can get a screen shot that includes both the ad and your browser's address bar that would be good, but if it won't all fit on screen just mention the URL of the page you were on when you took the screen shot. You might also want to revise your screen shot so that it's a PNG at 100% original size. My second suggestion is one I rarely make explicitly: block that image. That should get your forum page back to working order, and honestly, GS knows better.
