Title: Forum Ad breaking the space.
Post by: Lutpin on July 16, 2016, 07:16:54 AM
Cross-posting this here, as it's rather off-topic in the current ad auction.

Not sure if it's a good place to post it but surely you wont miss it this way admin.
Magnification of the page is irrelevant, those pointed always stick out.
I'm with Firefox.  
Look like you're missing the font being used in that ad, and the one it's being (automatically) replaced with needs more space, hence the ad breaks it's designated space.

For comparison, this is how the current adrotation looks to me:

Oh,  I see.  :( Well,  I suppose as long as people get the jist of the ad, it may not seem as urgent to fix.  :) I'm sure a moderator will still review this.

Thanks for clearing that out.
Never before and ad was broken for me here, that's why I thought it would be a good thing to post is somewhere.
Am I the only one with that issue? Its still a design flaw, right? There is to many info on that banner. It should be expected that some people wont posses accurate font set and with this amount of text something will go wrong.
That was probably designed with some windows OS, wild guess its W10...
Nevertheless, all other banners are looking OK, even with different fonts.
Maybe a good tip for the future, html banners with to much text will break the space.

I recall Quickseller reporting an ad breaking the space and it being fixed shortly after that not so long ago.
However, I think back then the ad was breaking the space for everyone.
I don't know whether there will be done something about this one, as it seems to be only problematic for some users.

That's not on me to decide. I wouldn't really call it a flaw. It's however something worth reporting, which is the reason for my crosspost here.

That was probably designed with some windows OS, wild guess its W10.
You can go ahead and ask SFR10 about that, he's the one who has designed the Ad.

@Lutpin,

Can I ask you which browser are you using? Here on chrome the ad is fine.

I'm using chrome aswell and the ad is fine for me.
If you take a close look at OP, I've quoted and crossposted a post from poptok1 that originally was posted in the forum ad auction thread (somewhere it does not belong).
They are using Firefox (and most probably not windows) according to the information provided.

When I made that Ad, it had one less word (Heat Ledger instead of Heat Ledger ICO) but the owner have added another word when he submitted it and that might be the reason it looks like this on other operating systems (mobile resolutions) than it looks on computers. I just checked on Windows 10, 8.1 and 7 and also checked on I.E,Chrome,Firefox but all where fine. I viewed all the way down to resolution 800 x 600 (which is the last option) but all were displaying fine.

It seems your using cellphone and results are always different to an extent when viewed from Cellphone (android or ios).

Lastly, some fonts (even most used ones aren't installed on mobile operating systems). I noticed this for some of fonts used on signatures too, The results of how signatures look when viewed from computer are a bit different than viewed from cellphones. I doubt this is a flaw of forum though.

This always happens to me when I'm on my phone, but never on my computer. Could that be the problem? It's a known problem, since the ad is BBcode, not a static image/gif.
