Re: The buggy \"click here\" ad
It's really quite unobtrusive compared to most Flash ads. I didn't even notice it up there until this thread pointed it out. And it seems to work just fine, rolls back out of the way when you mouse off of it.

iBook G4, 10.4, using Safari.
It's unobtrusive for me; rolls out and back smoothly if you mouse over it. The wobbling little curl is cute.

Re: The buggy \"click here\" ad
Well, on linux you get a huge purple square invading your screen every time your load/reload a page. It's ugly and horrible.

Get the Flash plug-in for Linux. There is one out now.

Re: The buggy \"click here\" ad
I'm running 9,0,48,0. That's almost the latest version. The purple square lasts about a half-second and then goes away 9 out of 10 times. When it doesn't go away I can mouse over in the corner and it minimizes. Still, it's really annoying, especially the half-second purple square.
Acutally, even the little box in the corner is annoying, when I go to close my tab, an accidental mouse-over on the 'click here' burns my retinas away with the giant purple square.

Re: The buggy \"click here\" ad
I am using IE and have a slightly different problem. I will click on a link in the forum, then move the mouse up to the top right corner to minimize. I tend to read a page, then go back to something else, then back to a page, then back to something else.
Anyway, if I mouse over the click here part, the page curls down. However, the link I clicked on gets cancelled. I have to be careful now to minimize the page, without mousing over that area, right up near the minimize button.
Shrapnel has every right to have ads. It is just that this one annoys rather than makes me interested. Shame, as the add is a nice shot and for a quality product.

Re: The buggy \"click here\" ad
Alright the "click here" ad was a little annoying yet tolerable.
Now... at the top of the forums they've added a "This Months Specials". This has pushed down the forums for reading. 
What's next mandatory pop-ups??
