Solved Ticket (Ads) Margin Question

[tfmore]

Hello,
I've been dreading this one. Of all our issues, I think the following will be the most difficult to straighten out. It was noticed back in January, but placed on hold as we get all the designing done, thinking that may have something to do with it. It didn't, the design is complete, the problem remains.

It is a pestering left margin that appears when using responsive ads from Adsense. margin-left: -364px; to be exact. This person has/had the exact same problem, but it doesn't show a solution I don't believe: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32172063/how-to-left-align-responsive-adsense-image-ads

I could tell you how many various things we've tried, but I was hoping instead you could tell us why it's occurring. As you know we're using the Monetize Pro Addon. We simply need the responsive Adsense ads to align left, filling as much of the available space as possible in any given screen size.

I have no idea why this is happening, but finding out, is something we're very interested in. Can we pay you for a consultation Russ?

Can you provide a login and link to the page with the ad? I'll debug it.

Hi @Russ,
Still need to do some house cleaning yet, but the issue is currently visible here: http://www.lancebase.com/forums/testing/ Does this provide you with enough access? Please let me know if not.

Thanks so much

Can you try adding this in:

.funzone {
    max-width: 728px;
}

See if that corrects it, the ad itself is adding some random left 50% for whatever reason.

I hate you. But seriously Russ, we've tried so many things, so many re-installs, so many chats with strangers trying to figure this out. Should we be concerned as to why Google is adding the margin? It has to be something from our end, sending some piece of info to Google that in turn delivers us that ad w/ margin.

Thank you Sir

I'm not exactly sure why it's there, I did a quick search of the specific CSS, google ads left 50 %
Which led me here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32172063/how-to-left-align-responsive-adsense-image-ads first response seems to of worked

Yea that's the same link I put in the op up top. We actually talked to that Paul gentleman, who to this very day still cannot figure out why it's happening to his ads. He stated again that he'd completely given up. It works even better than we thought it would. This is what the Ad zone settings page looks like:

We tried so many variations of things here as well. The Wrapper Display can be block or in-line block, while the Zone Position offer blank, left, center or right alignment options. None of which work.

You helped us tremendously, again.
Thank you
