Ad situation (was "ad for yahoo Autos)"

It usually appears on the CE forum at the top... unlike all the others it is oversized... and when it appears it cuts off the thread tree and links at the top of the Fanhome page

just a FYI

Yeah, I've just seen the problem myself and will do what I can to remedy things. I think it's just bad code.

The ad situation is being remedied now. Google Ads replaced their code a while ago, I have not gone into the templates to replace the code until now.

This should fix things but that remains to be seen. Right now the banner ad is not showing up where it's been employed (it's a big white space in a few instances right now). It'll change with time I think as the Adsense spiders index FanHome.

As of this morning, the Cards board is still experiencing the "big white space" at the top of its board. It's big enough to cover part of my menu choices, ie mailbox.

Things didn't take correctly but having the white box cover part of yoru choices in teh menu? What browser are you using bleacher? That shouldn't be happening period.

John - It seems to have cleared itself up. I'm now getting the Google ads and the overlapping white block has disappeared. Must have been something in the Google code ?????

The new code didn't work for several reasons. Meanwhile I put the old code back into place and it's working again but with the problems occasionally from ad blocks that are too large.
