How is the ad inserted into the page? It looks like it is inside the forum template area - is that correct?

All the information in the header is contained within .spHeadContainer, but looking at the screenshot it looks to me like the advert is inside this div.

I doubt that height: will help, it has no rules as it is just a holder. Adding height or padding to the container doesn't change the way the elements within appear. I think the only thing that would help is changing the height of the advert div itself, but that looks tricky!

Thuis was why I was asking hoe and where it is inserted.

If it is within the forum spHead template then simply adding a call to sp_InsertBreak(); after the ad code should do the trick.

I have it in the top of the header.php right after this

# Start Template

# Mandatory call to sp_HeaderBegin() - available to custom code
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------

this is right after the code

sp_InsertBreak();
sp_HeaderBegin();

so should I just add a couple more insert breaks?

Well in normal circumstances one break would do it so there must be something a little odd about the way the ad code is injected.

But you can add extra spece to the call like this:

sp_InsertBreak('spacer=15px');

for example which will create a 15px high break. Change the value to suit. Give that try.

hmm, must be something with the adsense code, I increased it to 50 and the header got much bigger but the bottom of the code is still hidden

I resolved it, kind of, I switched the adsense code to display ads only, they integrate well, the text ones not so much
