Resolved Can the ad settings be tweaked?

Looks like with the as settings have changed where the ads now take up more that 50% of the screen when first landing in the forum or in a thread. Even worse, in a thread there are ads at the top, the thread title, and the first post, and between the posts.

Here's what I see in my phone when I hit the forum:


Or when in a thread:

Thanks! Looks better without ads overwhelming the screen.

Google is not adhering to their ad size code. The ads they are displaying are completely at their free will which is wrong. I had to override CSS to prevent it. I did this on another site and forgot to bring it over to this one.

It's possible that I just happen to have an ancient phone from 2017 that has the large screen for back in the day, but when compared to present phones, it's now a considered a small to medium sized screen. Not all of us can drop $1K+ every year for a new phone.

Well, it was doing it on my iPhone 15 Pro Max as well and of course also responsive testing. It's just google being google.
