  Since today my blog shows an explosion of ads. There used to be ads on the page, in the text. No problem, its a free version, but now very large ads show up next to the navigation and pushes it away and these big ads are tenfold placed in the text. In fact this means my blog becomes unreadable and ugly too. Is this temporary to stimulate me taking a paid account? Or are you going back to normal with decent ad sizes? Thanks for an answer.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  This is how the ad pushes the navigation away and the header image.

  This is how it was and should be looking like.

  Hi @huubkoch, thank you for letting us know. I’ve shared your feedback with the ads team. This is a new issue, right?

  Absolutely. Its as new as the rising sun, but its a bit awkward too. I do not mind ads with the free version in the text, but as you will understand not in the header-space near the navigation. Thats absolutely new.

  Allright Supernovia, thanks for responding to my post. Do hope the ads team can do something about it. And I do understand this might need time, so I will stop posting on my blog until the issue is solved. Best. Huub.

  Thanks for your understanding and patience. The ads team was able to confirm they are currently iterating on the way ads display. They’re working out any issues, so your screenshot is quite helpful with that. It seems to look better now on your site. Cheers!
