The ad is to the right. But every time I request a quote the ad changes, even for the same symbol. For an advertiser's benefit, and a user who might be interested in an ad but thinking about it and not wanting to slow down, I suggest a keystroke combo to keep the same ad even as another symbol is entered. That's not possible because the page is literally changing, which makes the ad change. And that works to the advertiser's benefit. They want you to click the ad now, or if they're smart and making sure they're getting seen multiple times, you'll get another opportunity later. Because there are some really good ads happening here, I'm considering putting in some work to make ad display a user-configurable option, so that a subscriber can choose whether or not to see any ads (except those on the homepage and quotes page -- those will always be present), or select any or all of the 5 ad types we run. Also the popup news release window is not opening wide enough. Did it used to open just right, with no horizontal scroll bar? That's likely a function of how QuoteMedia opens the window. I know I can't control it on this end.
