I am using ublock origin, but I've never changed the setting for this site. Until yesterday I saw the xByte ads just fine. but then I saw MQ's post about new ads, and noticed I then saw nothing.
Why doesn't the right side add float?
Simply because you jacked it into a space that doesn't?
It's in the space that the platform provides for it and that widget does not float. It's used as intended and by design, unfortunately floating is not a feature of that space. The widget upgrades are on hold per NodeBB until after the 1.0 release which they hope will be in Janaury.
interesting on their part. I mean it is not like advertising should be a surprise. Unless you are charging for access, you generally have to use add revenue in some fashion to offset costs. There is no way that they should now know that and so much or the rest of the design seems so solid and natural that not having a floating add space in the design just blows my mind.
