Placing Adsense (Half Banner) Underneath "Key Stats"

[LuckyOne]

Hello everyone,

I was hoping that someone would be kind enough to answer a Google AdSense question for me.  I'm interested in putting a Half Banner (234x60) underneath the "Key Stats" in the default theme.  Any tips on doing this would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Please search adsense

I actually tried a few searches in hopes of yielding results for my specific question of placing an ad directly under Key Stats.  Nothing was relevant.

Let me know how that looks.

Thank you for the reply.

I tried that (I'm 99% sure that I did it correctly), but unfortunately, it didn't work.  In fact, I couldn't even get the Google ads to show.

Any further help is appreciated.  Thank you.

Can you post the script you are using?

Is this what you meant?  Thanks for the help.

echo '

<a href="#" onclick="shrinkHeader(!current_header); return false;"><img id="upshrink" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', empty($options['collapse_header']) ?

// Show the menu here, according to the menu sub template.
template_menu();

Okay, try changing this

Code Select Expand


echo '
</td>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="right">

==> My Code <==

</td>
</tr>

</tr>
</table>


to this

Code Select Expand


echo '
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="right">

==> My Code <==

</td>
</tr>
</table>


Sorry for that.

[LuckyOne]

Awesome.  Thank you!  That did it.

I hope you don't mind, but I have one more question.  As it stands now, in a vertical line ... my forum has the News Box, Key Stats, and an Ad Sense half banner on the right.  This has created a bit of open space between my User Info. box on the left and the Home, Help Search, etc. navigation bar.

Is there a way that I can push the User Info. down some to occupy the open space?  Or can I perhaps add a graphic in that space? 

Again, I can't thank you enough.

[LuckyOne]

Maybe a better way for me to say it ... is that I'd like to align User Info. with Key Stats.

Thank you.
