Is Equibase trying to piss off people?
What good is their information when they cover it up with ads that make it impossible to read? Do people who run garbage site ever bother to look the crap they put out? Doubtful.

Use an ad blocker like ublock (sorry PA). Nature of the beast. Beat them at their own game.

You can use an adblocker and whitelist sites like PA where you don't mind seeing ads.

Thank guys.....ads are a pin in the ***.
Other than PA, I make it a priority not patronize anyone who has ads on a site that interfere with the content.

My ads don't interfere with content. And in fact, the content loads BEFORE the ads...it's designed that way for minimal negative impact.
And yes, if you use an ad blocker, please put PA on your exception list.
Thanks.

Mike, YOU know how to run a website.
That is pretty rare. 
I even click on yours a lot.

Tom,
I looked into this. I think the issue is a browser setting but I'm not sure which one. I did the same (similar?) search and the ad is out of the information frame as it's supposed to be.

I'm not the world's best website guy but sometimes advertisers will throw up an iframe with their content which might overlay the existing one. You might try blocking popups if you haven't already.

I'd also suggest using a different internet 'browser' like Firefox.
You can then add in AdBlockers. I also use AVG Antivirus with an Add On application. With even bottom end of connection speeds these days, it doesn't affect much even with an ADW with live racing in the background and YouTube rolling as well.
I use Bing as my search engine, but think I'm going to change to something like DuckDuckGo here soon.
