Not a problem. We have to have them. However it has not taken long for them to appear. Their positions so far are much better than before on mobiles.
 
That's a local ad .... and for those in the area, do go and see Working Mens Club. Special.
The google ads may be more challenging I guess.
 
I am not complaining in any way. The site has to earn money in some way.

Hopefully you can work it out.
 
Yes - we had a go at putting on some google ads this afternoon - or rather Paul did. It looked like he is half way there with this. Trying to put them around the page - top and bottom and one side. When we were developing the google ads were automated and obliterated the site so they were taken off the day before the proper testing started. Need them up and running as soon as possible as obviously with fanzines not being the sellers they were this is my livelihood these days.

He could probably do with more manual ads like that as they are a lot less likely to be picked up by ad blockers. The problem is finding enough that would match anywhere near the rate you'd get from Google.
 
If you can keep them top and bottom on mobile layout that would be great. Any side adverts on mobile layout squeeze the very small available horizontal width. When viewing in portrait.

Side adverts on tablet and PC display layouts are probably not a problem.
 
I think the ads look ok on a phone - that is really important. Have you had a look on your phone? They are not perfect yet - put they give an idea - I never do pop ups or pop unders and they earn so much more than other adverts. But they are so annoying.
 
I see no issue with the adverts on my phone as they are.
They're visible, but not intrusive like pop up adverts often are.

I am on the phone now. As long as ads are top and bottom when I have my display in portrait that is fine. The left hand side advert space on the old site does my head in when displaying on mobiles.

Not sure but with adaptive layouts I think you can position ads at side on tablet and pc layouts. But put them top or bottom on mobiles (small devices).

I am seeing working men's club in Spain. At top right of portrait phone layout. Not an issue for me.
 
We are an hour ahead here. So going to sleep now. So if you want some F***ing help tomorrow please let me know.

Anything I can help with I will try my best.
 
The board seems to work better overall. There are now a lot of posters on it and I get 4 advert signs per page. so its a real test.
 
On my android tablet, the ads were right across the login pop-up. I had to rotate it to portrait mode to see the edges of the username/password boxes. Still couldn't see what was in them.
 
Can anyone possibly get a screen grab please - they are not supposed to be doing that. So want to see exactly what is happening.
 
I cannot get that to happen with the adverts on my phone. So anyone that has a way of doing a screen grab it would be much appreciated.
