Auto-expanding ads now a regular feature?

The ads at the top of any page now seem to auto-expand and I have to click on the "collapse" option so I can read the page I'm trying to look at.  Is this now a regular thing?

Hi there,

 

Yes, in our website we have different types of advertising and some of them are automatically expanded.

 

Some of these advertising methods may be more intrusive or require more user interaction than regular banner ads, so we constantly work together with our advertisers to substantially limit the frequency of such ads and achieve a good balance between an effective promotional exposure and maintaining great site usability. :D

@Sally​ That's a shame. As a user of the site it's a mild inconvenience that puts commerce over functionality, but as a contributor it's maddening. It really gets in the way when I'm trying to input data.

@MovieCat​ 

I understand.

 I was sure to share this feedback with the team for consideration in future updates.
