Browsed about twenty odd threads via my alter-ego/test account and it finally did it. Then refused to do it for another 15 odd clicks.
Anyhoo, looks like the right pane google ads on the fritz. Here we go one "ALT+print screen" comming up so the techies know what your are all on about, please confirm if this is what you see or post up your own screen grabs:
(FYI: cache cleared, Firefox 11.0 on 1680x1050 res )

It's fine here at home on Firefox.
Problem was at work with IE, but not all the time.

Not sure what happened with this ticket so have re-opened it guys, will be sorted soon, sorry for the inconvenience. its a fault with the ad itself causing the problem, not scoobynet... we will get it pulled.

This problem happens quite often now but seems limited to when I use my mobile (HTC desire) to browse the site. Seems fine every time on my PC’s. As such am unable to take screen shots.
