I'm using Google Chrome (because that actully posts pictures...another bug?) and a HP compaq. 
I looked but didn't see anyone with this problem previously, so I feel safe this is more recent. I haven't seen this at comicvine, not that really matters. 
 
anyway, I have been adding some stuff to the site (not that much as you can tell), but when I try to link something or post a picture the adds keep getting in the way:      
 
If you can't see, the add goes over the add link search bution and other graphics. This makes it tough to find the right person you are suposed to be linking to and thus I can't create the link I was going to add. 
Pecularly, I have tried it with Firefox and it is not a problem there...I can do it in Firefox so I'm fine, but thought I'd mention it anyway...

@The Poet: Hmm very strange. I know this isn't a total fix for your problem, but is the link menu visible if you scroll down?

@The Poet: Weird...maybe it's only specific ads that do it?

@pat4327: that could be it. I just know when the IQ test ad was up it haveing the problem, but now that the ads have changed it doesn't seem to be happening...very weird...

I've been having the very same problem but with the ad that says "You Have One New Message". I'm using Google Chrome on Windows 7. I can use Firefox and edit but with Google Chrome, the ads sort of prevent me from clicking certain things.

this isn't just on Screened, just so you know. The same ad I showed  is also on Comic Vine (Where I'm on usually) and it does the same thing (When looking at an issue and clicking the scroll down menu of Browse I can't click some things...but it doesn't affect my editing like it does here..) 
 
just wanted to mention it...

oh, solution someone from CV sent me was https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb 
its sort of an add blocker from Google (and no this is not product placement or hackers). Problem solved for me at least...
