Any time it's displayed it makes my browser screwy, locking up on scrolling and all that. I'm using firefox 3.6.3

Yeah bloody hell, my computer crawls when it does that zooming in thing.
It has started to appear on youtube aswell, can't watch any videos with that stupid thing going.
I was going to write them an email but I didn't want to give them the satisfaction of knowing their stupid ad got my attention.

The best way to deal with it (other than ******* Plus) is to sell you car through Carsguide.com on the basis that drive.com has pissed you off with their in your face and up your date advertisements.

That's the way I deal with anything that irritates me through it's promotional methods - Boycott it and make a point of taking my patronage to their opposition.

My home PC is OK but it screws it up completely at work.

they are reeling at the runaway success of carsales.com.au the internet is summed up by facebook, ebay, youtube and google... if your fist and get ground swell its over for the rest so the other car ad peddlers will be doing what ever it takes to get market share before caresales is seen as the 'google' of car ads in aust.

good luck with that!

mmm ******* pro works great, thanks for the tip

I don't really have anything against drive.com.au, but I really think they should go back to whoever developed that ad and get them to do it again because it's not working properly
