MERGED -- "Dragons: Worlds Afire" ad causes horizontal scrollbar

[Morrus]

Hmmm... weird. I've attached a screenshot of what I get (at 1024x768). As you can see, I have a gap to the right of the banner and the banner is now pretty much pushed up against the EN World logo. The actual number of horizontal pixels being used by the header is now LESS than it was before the banner was there.

So I'm totally confused and at a loss as to how it can still be happening! Suggestions are welcomed (I don't have the option of making the banner smaller, unfortunately).

That's exactly what I see (also 1024x768).

Don't forget that there's more than one ENWorld banner. The textless banner has been shortened but, for example, the one showing in General Discussion doesn't seem to be.

Of course - good catch!

Everyone, could you check and see if the problem is occuring on the main forum index page? That's the shortened one. If everyone sees that page without scrolling, then we've found the answer to the problem.

Nope. It's "fixed" when other ads run, but not when WotC's is up. Prior to this ad, the only time I ever experienced problems was when someone posted a too-long graphic to a thread.

Thanks!

There's a white border, or something, part way around, but I much prefer that to the screen stretching.

This is what I see, right now, while posting this message. You will note the horizontal scroll bar is there. (Also, I am in Stealth mode, and I am at 1024/768.)

Edit: added a second screenshot showing the main forum index with the horizontal scroll bar being caused by the WotC ad banner.

Yep, the problem appears on other parts of the boards.

Stupid Question, Away!

Okay... here's a stupid question... Why can't someone tell WotC that their ad is causing problems, and ask them if their art department can do another in a smaller size?
