Google Ads showing again
i'm using "SIDKI 2009-02-13 (UPDATE 06-06)" and both the top and side google ads are showing for me, with or without the "Alternate Display" filter

e.g. [computer]

same for everyone?

re the alternate display, it would be great to compress the depth of the masthead(?), i.e. the bit between the top "Web Images Videos Maps News Shopping Mail more ยป" and "Web Show options... Results" lines, where the logo and search box is

its just wasting space which would let more results be visible

is that possible please?

RE: Google Ads showing again
Strange, I don't see the ads =\ I'm using 2009-05-24 Alpha 2 (I believe).

As for your second question, I've figured out a way. Go into C:\Program Files\Proxomitron Naoko-4\html\sidki_h_**version number**\Google and add the following code in the google-dark.css file:

Code:
/* Condense top/bottom spacing for search box */
#sft { margin: 2px 15px !important; }

Then refresh the page.

EDIT: Still no ads for me in 2009-02-13 (Update 06-06).

okay, thanks

i tried sidki_oob.ptron (shoulda done that first Whistling), and that was fine

so i tracked it down to a corrupt
Code:
"Google Search: Remove Ad Blocks 9.04.29 [sd ku] (d.s)"
filter (my own merging error i think, from when i recently added the june update) and once i fixed that all is well

sorry for the false alarm

that works great, thanks a lot Smile!

i do see them too, but they are proper links to Google Products searches rather than external adverts

but i found the problem, which was at my end, thanks

That works fine. I've added it to the Google CSS.
