    Default video ads causing issue

    I can't scroll through and read now. The video ads that run on the right-hand side of my screen keeps adjusting the screen so that the ad remains visible. It even does this while I'm typing a comment. I've about reached the limits of my tolerance! Can anything be done?

    Please just get an add blocker; easy to do. I have no-script on my Firefox browser and it is awesome! I have no ads and see no video ads either.

    I am running Chrome on Windows, and I am having the same issue. The page will keep jumping to show the ad, so it's difficult to read or comment. It seems like if I let it play for 1 second, then scroll slowly away from it, it behaves better.

    I'm not getting any video ads, but since the S3 issue a few days ago some banner ads malfunction and cause my browser to jump to top/bottom to display the blank ad. Fortunately I'm able to close those ads and then the page functions normally.

    That brings an interesting question... does the site still get revenue if ads do not display? I don't mind ads if it keeps the site chugging along. But if revenue doesn't change, I'll be all up on those ad blockers.

    I'm not sure; I don't think it makes a difference if they are displayed, they only give revenue if they are clicked I think, and honestly, you click them?
