In summary, the conversation discusses a problem with overlapping quotations and ads on a thread page. The issue is resolved when the user logs in, but it is uncertain if this is intended or not. The user is asked to provide a screenshot and information about their operating system and browser. It is suggested that the issue may be related to using the Firefox beta version.

When the opening post, or some other post that happens to be a first post of some page of a thread, contains quotations, the quotations overlap badly with the ads. Am I the only one having this problem? The problem vanishes when I log in, because the ads go away from opening posts then, though. But I might guess that they are not supposed to overlap. I cannot read the quotations without logging in.

It could be. I'm not sure. This is version 3.0. It's the same thing as beta currently?
