Me too. I cleared my cookies. No change. Firefox 3.5.3 here.
I think Adams doing a bit of work so i'm guessing he knows this.
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
I'm experimenting with different ad types. They don't load in immediately for some reason. The ad at the bottom is gone too. I'll tidy it up tomorrow.
Yeah, it's frying my head!
Phew thought there was something else wrong with my laptop.
Regular users should be seeing ads in that space now. Club members shouldn't.
Stll white space for me Adam.Originally Posted by dahamsta
Are the ads/whitespace staying on the left? It's pretty awful, even the right hand side would be more bearable.
*nevermind seems to be gone now.

If those ads stay on the left for us "regular" (No money) users I'll be fit to kill!
Whitespace is gone for members now passinginterest.
Keen2win, I need more than that for change. If you're saying they're worse than that ones at the top, you need to explain why. Foot.ie is a busy site that uses lots of bandwidth, which needs to be paid for somehow. I accept that a balance need to be struck between visibility and annoyance, but making ads more inconspicuous is counter-productive, somebody's got to click them and that's not going to happen if they're hidden away.

BTW, I guarantee that no further banner ads will be added to the site, and you can backreference this post in future if you wish. They may move around a bit, but there'll never be more than 3 banner ads.
It just looks awful in fairness and you have to scroll accross the screen to see all the page so it's an annoyance! I'd say it would put people off coming onto the site! But if it has to be done, it has to be done I suppose!
You must have a very low resolution Keen2win, the banner ads just 130 pixels to the page width, which leaves 894px for the rest of the page. (Most modern websites use 960px containers to target monitors with resolutions of 1024px and higher.) Foot.ie is fluid with a large area set aside for content, so anyone with that res or even slightly lower should be ok.
I've attached the Google Analytics data for screen resolution for last month, which shows that the top 10 screen resolutions account for 92.52% of visitors, and 88.26% of users in that top 10 have a resolution of 1024px and higher. If you extend this out to 50 resolutions and take into account that many smaller resolutions will be on mobile platforms, the number reaches nearly 95%. That's a pretty hefty majority imho.
(I didn't just do this on a whim.)
I must have so!
Thankfully I'm not on the notebook anymore!

Actually seems to be ok now! Sorry bou that Dahamsta!
Probably just a caching problem from when I was making the changes then.
i think if you move the banner to the right hand side it would look better? im blind in my right eye so i see mostly the left side of the screen properly so is just annoying me but i'll live
