Size of ad banner

[Match]

I love this site and fully support admin monetising it, but the ad banner I'm now getting across the top of the page takes up over a third of the screen (annoying when trying to read through threads). Is there anyway for users to collapse or close the banner, or at least reduce its height? Thank you

Thanks @Match - This is frustrating me too and I've also noticed similar size ads on OzBargain.com.au, etc. in the past week too. I believe it is related to a Google AdSense "Auto Ads" update.
I'm working to resolve this week and apologise for the inconvenience.

Seamus I also don't begrudge the advertising. I am however having to explain why I've visited a singles dating website 3 times.
When I try & close it, I end up on it. Increasing business on two fronts? The website & divorce lawyers?

Hi @rjm I'm still working on the Auto Ads fix this week (hopefully by this weekend). Are you using desktop or mobile? I can explain the new hot water system and plumber ads that I've received in recent days after the hot water failed. I'm at a loss to explain your singles dating ads though!
