Poor search placement

When I go to search forums, the ebay ad below pops up over the search box, obscuring it perfectly. Poor placement. Otherwise a lovely BB.

It doesn't look like the attached then when you click the little arrow next to the 'search'?

I can see the alfabb under the ebay ad. It flickers back and forth betweeen the pop up and the search window. I've changed the browser window size on my G4 laptop, but it follows. I can get it to work, but sometimes it'll send me to ebay. Really just a design issue.

It's actually the eBay ad programming that is the culprit. It stays "always on top" while the ad is still fully loading with images and scripts (which can take up to 5 seconds). Try clicking search again after a few seconds and the BB search window will stay on top. Alternatively, right-click on search and open the advanced search page in a new tab or window.

Thanks for caring. It doesn't stop me from dropping by my new favorite website and reading informative and often very humorous postings. I feel I have found a new family of very special and often obsessive car nuts. Keep 'em flyin'....
