Issue with Page Top Banner Ads?

Well, one in particular.

Although, having just yesterday updated to XP SP 3, it could be XP or IE7.

It's the pop up Adobe one.

If that is displayed on the "home" page, if I scroll down far enough for it to scroll off the top of the screen, dive into a forum, then click the back arrow to return to the home page, for a split second, it pops up in the top right hand corner, before being overwritten by said home page.

I thought I was seeing things for a while, even had to get out my A1 and actually video it to make sure it was, indeed, the Adobe ad. Only seems to last a couple of frames, it's that quick.

Strangely, it doesn't seem to be every time, but I haven't been able to discern a pattern.

Of course, now that I've clocked it, it is exceedingly annoying.

Anyone else seeing this?

I'm using FF, will have to look with IE, but I have a feeling it's Flash related. The Adobe ad is currently the only Flash banner on the site.

I think what is happening is that the browser is scrolling to the top of the page while the banner loads and, once loaded, goes to the right part of the page. (IE6 on XP)
