Add the following code to the extra.less template:

Code: 
// advertising

.advertising-wide
{
	display: inline;
	text-align: center;
}

.advertising-narrow
{
	display: none;
}

@media (max-width: @xf-responsiveMedium)
{
	.advertising-wide
	{
		display: none;
	}
	
	.advertising-narrow
	{
		display: inline;
		text-align: center;
	}
}

Please note I have edited the above posts to show the new Fixed ad size of 300x50. It's important that anyone using the above code to update to fixed 300x50 so that on mobile phones the ads are smaller.

Start by going to your AdSense control panel and update the 320x50 to 300x50. Be sure to rename the ad unit also. Then update your XenForo Advertising page with the new 300x50 values.
