It turns out I've had AdBlocker off for this site for a while now, lol. The ad doesn't appear to cause any issues for me on my Office machine. I'll check my laptop tonight and see.
Been nothing to block other than a few hours of testing a few weeks ago.

Adblocker on = I'm still seeing ads
And every time I go to a new page, it reappears.Magic.

Sound like an adblocker issue.

I don't care about the ads, so long as the content gets centered again.
Making me strain my head to the left to feel like I'm in front of the content.

uBlock origin really wants me to see this ad....

Yep and I'm totally and completely fine with that.
-
My only request about ads is that they are hosted on ML, not pulled from an ad stream. Those streams are where all kinds of malware come from, plus tracking and all kinds of slowness.
OH.. do the ads show up on mobile?
-
Oh yeah... get out there and test mobile pages on everything that you can!!

They are. These are pure images with "a" link tags. We are keeping this light, safe and fast.

That seems like a lot of extra work. Although at least then you can guarantee the content displayed.

I realize it's a ton of extra work, plus many vendors might not allow/want it because then they have to trust ML's numbers and not get them directly from the tracking crap they tack on when you pull from their streams.. but yeah know what F#%@@#'em. I want a light, fast, CLEAN experience.
I hope, Hope, HOPE that doesn't change here.

I doubt it will. Vendors will probably still have a records of ML since they will see what site the inbound link was from, are they called referral links? Look at the link for this xbyte add. It has that right in there.

On both my iphone and ipad mini the ads show up at the bottom of the screen.

Isn't that the same as a normal ad agency? At my last position we didn't get charged by AdSense until someone clicked on our Ad.

Uh no...
most places have a place holder spot.. that spot goes out to, let's say google, and fetches whatever ad is in the rotation.. along with all the tracking crap they also attach to it. so they know that ML pulled a page, and they know it was you because of the tracking. They will also know if you click because of the click itself. -

It's very little work.
