Question about Adsense format... (3 posts)

    Hello

    I have a question about how the ads are showing up on my sidebar on the right hand side.

    Now, I am not sure if I am hallucinating (hopefully not)
    http://calicutstudents.in/

    If you look at the ads you will see that they are showing up in 3 lines
    1st line has heading(its underlined) and the url followed by the heading

    2nd and 3rd line has the description

    Now If I recollect properly the ads were showing up in 3 lines before.
    1. heading
    2. url
    3. description
    4. description continued...

    similar to the ads showing up at (kindly refresh the page a couple of times if you see an image ad and hopefully the text ad will show up)

    http://calicutstudents.in/general-topics/calicut-university-distance-education/

    While it is not an issue that the ads on the main page are showing up in 3 lines instead of 4 BUT I think that the empty space between each ad does not look very good..

    Now here are the changes I have done in the past few days

    1. Upgraded to the latest wordpress version ...3.1.4

    2. I had played around with the sidebar from within wordpress where I had added categories and something else...but I removed everything and this should now be back to what it was before (default)

    3. I had used Search&replace and replaced all the
    <hrefs
    in my post with
    <!--adsensestart--><href

    this was to help with the adsense plugin I am using in my site...

    but this should not have changed anything for the ads on the main page is what I understand.

    Other thank this I am not sure what is changes or wrong here...

    can an additionally big category change this ?
    Or can I simply change the box within which the ad is ? (if that is the case if someone could point me to that then it would be great)

    Thanks in Advance for your help !!

    Regards,
