    Whenever the meteor ad advertising the blackberry curve is displayed on a page, everything below it doesn't load (quick reply box, posting rules etc.). This seems to be the only ad that causes this and it doesn't seem to be forum or thread specific. I'm using the latest version of chrome.

    It also seems to prevent the dropdowns from thread tools or when you click on a person's username etc being displayed/loaded.

    Yeah, this one's really annoying me too. The quick reply box doesn't open when that ad displays, and drop-down lists don't work either.

    Have tested this on WinXP with Chrome and Firefox, couldn't reproduce the issues described by AC (can't test with Win 7 right now).

    Any other OS/Browser combination involved here (Insect Overlord?) or just Win7/Chrome?

    Vista/Chrome.

    Doesn't seem to be a problem today though!

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
