    Hi,

    I wish to use Digital Point ads on my site which is a forum (XenForo 1.2).

    The ads I have currently are AdSense responsive ads. When I try to set up a Digital Point Ad, I am asked to specify a size.

    What is the best way to use DP with responsive ads?

    Well, in theory you could have a few different ads and then deliver them based on JavaScript that looks at window size... But an easier way to handle responsive sizes is being worked on.

    That's great news. I'll definitely pop back and give the system a try once that's up and running - looking forward to it!

    PS I also found it hard to categorise my site from the drop down list. It is a general forum/discussion board on any subject. Any suggestions?

    You can request a new category if there is one better suited.

    Wanted to try out the DP ads system and ran into he same issue. I was thinking of just creating 2 different size dp ads with he same exact adsense fallback ad since it will adjunct to size anyway. Not sure though and i think ill just end up making a mess with all this. Any eta on the easier way to handle responsive ads update?

    Thanks!

    I decided to give the DPAds a try in combination with Google as a fallback.

    What I would like to do is have 1 or 2 different ad sizes in one place (based on screen size) and then if the screen width does not meet those requirements, I would not want to show anything there and rather show a 3rd ad type in a totally different p[lace on the page. Would placing the following 2 codes work correctly and not go agings any of the Google or DP ad placing policies?


    -Code 1-
    <script type="text/javascript">
    width = document.documentElement.clientWidth;
    if (width > 483) {
    DigitalPointAdCode1
    }
    if (width > 743) {
    DigitalPointAdCode2
    }
    </script>

    -Code 2-
    <script type="text/javascript">
    width = document.documentElement.clientWidth;
    if (width < 483) {
    DigitalPointAdCode3
    }
    </script>


    BTW, how does this work with screen resizing or chnage of orientation on device after the fact that the page has already loaded?

    Thanks!

    That should work, and doesn't violate our terms. It won't resize after the fact, but neither does Google, so probably a bit of a moot situation anyway if you are falling back to AdSense.

    Cool. How does the dynamic ad resizing work on here?

    BTW, the floating navbar onhere using mobile is pretty awesome)

    It doesn't resize ads here either (not after the fact anyway).
