Hello Editorial and Administrator team, there is an issue with the site’s UI when creating a new topic or posting a comment. A semi-transparent block appears that is meant for ads; however, when ads are not showing, there is no option to remove it. This requires reloading the site many times and makes it impossible to click the “Comment” or “Create Topic” buttons.

The element causing the issue is “fs-sticky-footer.” Please remove it or reduce its height from 100px to 10px.

You need to try a different browser, try duck duck go.

Forum members have been complaining about ads blocking the comment box and reply button for 5 years.

The consensus is that Car Talk relies on the ad revenue and everyone must use an ad blocker.

Chromebook, no issues. Your OS and browser?
