If there is a generic over-the-site solution it could use an upgrade. Imho improvement in this case can come from two directions: bottom-up, the developer or it's company, or top-down (the publisher). Both shouldn't settle with the bare minimum. In this situation there's of course the revenue of banners to complicate matters. I admit that a sunny friday afternoon isn't the best time to achieve such mentallity change though.

In my experience those Ad-placement people are not as flexible as you'd like when it comes to getting the html/js exactly as you want it. My guess is that they only have one ad-over-the-site solution and the developer has had to jump through hoops to get it to look as it does here. Then it's friday afternoon, and the nu-links are unclickable, but your co-workers are allready drinking a cold beverage+deep-fried-snack and you think: pfffff, we'll leave it at this & worry about it on Monday They are probably happy that they’ve managed te get it to look properly.
