Hi Guys,

Looking into hosting some ads, I am using the official ad plugin which is great in that it allows you to add assets to various points on the site.

However talking to ad agency and it seems to get the best ad visibility on mobile, which most of my traffic is, is by using sticky ads either in the header or footer.

The issue is of course that a sticky ad along the footer will overlay important buttons and impact UX which is a no-no.

Is there a day to pad the bottom of the site up the heights of a banner, so that the sticky banner wouldn’t impact important UX elements? I don’t want users to have to close the banner ad before they can reply or use the post count to scroll down a thread.

Also with the sticky header on Discourse, will that be impacted by a sticky banner or could the banner sit above the discourse navbar?

Or is this something the ad agency should be able to solve with their ad tech?

Thanks,

Shane
