Ads not being shown rightly

I noticed this on the TLA forum first. But I checked, and this problem also shows itself on thw WFG and 0AD forums:

When I want to read a thread, then usually an advertisement is shown. I don't really mind this (they're shown on a good spot), but the ads are put to much to the right. That means the screen unnecessarily strechtes out. That's not good because:

1. It's not a clean piece of webdesign

2. People could miss interesting ads and that denies you ad income.

So I suggest to rescale the tables (on all three forums).

On what resolution are you? Could you provide me with a screenshot?

I am aware of the problem. The thing is that the tables cannot be resized as they are generated by google. It's very hard to make them fit on different resolutions since they must be right enought so they don't overlap with our Wildfire Games logo.

I will see what I can do, though.

I've made a screenshot and added it to this post. On the screenshot I selected the logo of this forum. I noticed there is much space left to the right of the logo. That's why I suggested table rescaling.

And I find it hard to believe that Google won't allow you to precisely place the ad were you want it, because that way a lot of webmasters might not choose to use it, as it would ruin their layout.

Exactly, Anco and I want that, too, but in this case it seems impossible. :lol: When I make it work on your resolution it will look too much on the left for people with higher resolutions. :)

And since higher resolutions are more common I have to go with that way. It's all about compromisses - and doing what the majority can see. :P

I am sorry. :P

What about using this code to align the ad and logo in a table:

<table width="100%" border="0">
<tr>
<td align="left"><img src="logo_url"></td>
<td align="right">ADVERTISEMENT CODE</td>
</tr>
</table>

The 100% part should stretch things out on all sorts of resolutions. Small resolutions will always have the add going out of the screen, but that problem is unavoidable, as you can only show so much at once.

I don't think that is hard to implant using this board. Just change the header. At least I think it is done that way. I myself have only modded phpBB boards, but I think this system works roughly similar.

Let me know what you do with it :lol:.
