Ad obscuring part of screen

[Jeebo]

For the past several days I've been having a problem with ads on the left side of the screen popping up that cover up and obscure part of the screen. Sometimes that ad has an X in the upper-right corner, but when I click on that X to close the ad, it closes the ad but a white rectangle remains in the space that ad was occupying and that portion of the screen remains obscured. I can't read what's in the obscured portion of the screen. This has been driving me nuts for some days now. Is it a glitch in the software that y'all can fix?

1. Best way? Donate a small amount to DU.

2. I discovered that you can pay as little as $1 a YEAR to get rid of ads here --

TOTALLY worth it! Of course you can donate more. SUCH a relief, especially from those really creepy images that were nonstop.

3. click on the ad header

Block this ad.

Refresh the page.

Repeat as needed.

But yes, it's a recent thing and annoying!

I'm almost ready to spurge that $1!
Does it actually work?

4. What kind of device and browser are you using?

Thanks.
