Annoying jumping "next move" link

Is that possible to add some kind of a constant sized div at the top where banners are being shown? Those banners are of different sizes and cause that the rest of page's content jumps up and down. As a result the "next move" button jumps as well making it annoyingly difficult to follow long games of GO, chess or shogi.

Please do something with that. It shouldn't be too difficult!

It is a known problem. I think Richard just didn't make a priority to solve it.

EmTom, there are lots of other threads about this. One way is to send yourself a message and not read it, that makes the yellow box one line larger and 'fixes' the problem you described.

But yes, it should be an easy fix, once someone gets around to do it.

Try to send a 'message to webmaster' (link at bottom of each page), he might do it. Or he might not...

The unread message fixes the problem in many cases, but some of the variable-sized displays are too big even when you have an unread message. You can get even greater protection by also getting someone to send you a dummy invitation that you never respond to.

Anyone already created a 'Chrome' solution?

First, install Greasemonkey and the go to the following link: http://goo.gl/9xiJu. Click the install button and you are done.

Since the script needs to wait for the page to finish loading, there might be a light flickering in content-heavy pages, like the main page.

Feel free to suggest any improvement and report problems.

PS: It would all be a lot simpler if Richard would put a height property on the page itself, but that will have to do until then.

When this little glitch is ironed out (surely it's just one attribute that needs to be added to one tag), I think the site will be excellent - the new logos of the teams appearing in that banner area really brighten the pages up!

Which also means good work all team captains for coming up with such magnificent logos!
