While I say to just disable the ads; I agree heavily that that's a horrible position, especially for what that ad seems to be like. =|

This is odd, the ads appear at the top on my client. Maybe I don't have the latest version? Mine is 7.2.0.103.

the ad IS disabled.

that part won't go away.

No idea how to check, but I FIXED IT!

Had to edit the XML file and remove the line <AdvertPlaceholder>1</AdvertPlaceholder> from existence. It then instantly got rid of the gigantic blank ad space.
