Mod Post: Sponser + Accounts and my layouts

[zinzibar_mod]

I know that my layout doesn't work with Sponsor . This has everything to do with how LJ adds those ads to your journal. For the record, I only create the css with a free account in mind. This is because only free accounts and paid/perm accounts are void of any ads. I don't take into consideration Sponsor accounts because it is still in beta

I've been doing a bit of work with Sponsored+ accounts lately. Is this something I can help with? What goes wrong with a S+ account?

If you want to see the problem in action, you can check out my journal zinzibar_mod For some reason, since they added that extra advert ontop of the skyscraper, it stretches out the whole layout. It is almost impossible to control the css for that site without messing it up and in turn violating the TOS.

But if you can figure out a solution, that would be great. I look at it for 5 minutes and decided it wasn't worth the hassle. :)

By adding a width to the entryholder and the footer-menu you can work around it. Playing with your stylesheet, a width of 545px for the entryholder and 530px for the footer-menu (the background is still gray on the footer menu, BTW) it all fit in the pageblock nicely. The bottom ads still cause a horizontal scroll, but it's not as bad as before.

It seems it is the long google text add at the bottom of the page. (That they will hopefully get rid of if the rumors are true.)

.ljad5linkunit
{
width:300px;
overflow:hidden;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

Seems to fix it but it also hides half of it which is against the TOS so people would have to do it at their own risk.
