    I'm not sure what I'm suppose to be looking at in the graphic.....

    The white space? Looks like an error. I've not see anything like this.

    Ahhhh.. I didn't catch that because that style ad (called either a skyscraper or tower ad) is standard on most of the forums. It is usually on the right side on thread lists or message pages where it doesn't impact much of anything.

    In your graphics, it looks like a tower got stuck in the top spot for VBForums. I believe this was just a mistake -- meaning the wrong size ad was stuck in the top spot. The ads are done with an ad server, so every now and then someone will point to the wrong graphic. I'll ask the ad people to look into this and make sure the tower is replaced with the right size ad.
