I’m having an issue with the displaying of vertical Google AdSense banners. I wanted to display three 160 X 600 banners down the right side of the forum page. My SMF forum uses SimplePortal so I created a block for the right side where the banners will display. I tested this all as Admin, setting the block to only show to the Admin. Got everything to work the way I wanted and changed the block so it would now show to Admin and Guests. On my forum, Guests see a lot more ads than Members see and these vertical banners are meant to be seen only by guests (this is an incentive for people to register “see fewer ads”).
Viewing as Admin, everything looks fine, three vertical Google AdSense banners. But when I go to the site in Guest mode (from the same and from different computers/browsers), only one vertical Google AdSense banner displays, although the other two appear to be there, they are just blank (see example below). I then set the block to be viewable to members as a test and that worked as it should. But it still won’t show properly to Guests.
Any thoughts as to what may be happening?
