Weird. In F-Fox, with scripts allowed on the page for testing purposes, when I open the drop menu, the ad disappears:

When menu not mouse-overed, ad appears:

Odd.
That is how it is supposed to work. Unfortunately due to running remnant ads, we cannot dictate or control the z-index that flash ads are set at. Most of these ads like to set the max z-index, so they're always on top. Even on top of menus.
The solution for over 3 years now has been to hide ads when the menu is active to prevent this issue. We've tried different layouts, but the truth is, we just can't have a layout that both has the ads displayed where they need to be and not have the menu issue. We're not the only site that does this, either.
It's a stupid fix but it's the best compromise possible.
