Am I the only one that's getting tired of Google charity ads interfering with my ability to edit posts?

They effectively block the response buttons and I end up having to cancel edits to my posts.

Please post a screenshot.

Looks like it's Doubleclick again...

Here's a URL posted to "obtrusive Ads"

It doesn't happen every time. I'll try to collect one. The ad seems to intrude on different parts of teh screen at duifferent times. Trying to click on one of the forum buttons under the ad clicks the ad itself, and then takes one to that website.

Annoying...

Is the screenshot you posted an example of it being obtrusive?

No, it's a shot of the ad itself. Obtrusive screen shot posted in other thread, but here it is again:

I'm using Internet Explorer 10, but it's happened with Firefox as well.

It's a Doubleclick ad.

Here's another one

Same thing, try to edit a post and the ad jumps to the middle of the edit area.
