That Saab ad. on the home page which rolls out every time you (accidentally) move the mouse over it is driving me crackers.  If I had a swear box then it would be full to overflowing by now.

I do appreciate that Y&Y needs to get income from ads, and I even drive a Saab (buy one that's over 4 years old for a cheap big comfortable towcar that will easily do 250,000 miles).  But it's still driving (pardon the pun) me mad!

i know, it annoys me aswell cos you'll be over the otherside of the page and move your mouse and suddenly it will roll out!

The worst ones are the ones that are horizonatly across the top of the page so it you want to get to the nav. buttons etc you have to cross it.

Hi all,

The Saab advert is only until the 23rd so not much left of it. If you don't put the mouse over the advert is should stay away and even if you do it goes away afterwards. Small price to pay since viewing the website is completely free! Without advertisements like that and from all our advertisers YachtsandYachting.com simply wouldn't exist! Your call.

Cheers, Mark

Yeah I think we all understand that, Thnk bout the date it give us hope. One idea (i dontknow what the advertisers would think to this ) but couldnt it be put the other side, as that side if you go for the scroll bar you almost always will go over it. just a thought (/observation)

Keep up the good work.

I hadn't even thought about the scroll-bar but the advert producers obviously have!

I didn't notice it because I have a wheel on my mouse and don't use the scroll bar at all - I don't know what people do without one!!

yeah That was what I meant about how the advertisers would think, And yeah the wheely mice are great but if i want to scroll a long way i use the bar. I just thought id point it out. It could have been why that one adver was sooo annoying.
