 * In my site the ads in the site look different from the previews. I see this description
   under the preview:
    “Note: While this preview is an accurate one, it might look
   different then it does on the website. This is because of CSS differences. Your
   themes CSS file is not active here!” I do not understand what this note means.
   My theme’s CSS file works fine. If there is anything to be fixed you need to 
   include some guidelines to fix the problem. Currently nothing in the note says
   how to fix the issue. _______
 * P.S. By the way you have two typos there:
    a. You should have “… different than
   it does…” not “then”. b. It is “theme’s CSS file” not “themes CSS file”.

 * There is nothing to be fixed, and indeed, your theme CSS is fine. It’s also not
   present in your dashboard – Hence why the preview may look a bit different.

 * Actually Preview looks fine. The ads on the website look different!

 * Then your theme (or another plugin) is applying some CSS to the adverts.
 * It’s not uncommon for themes to put a margin or border around images for example.
   Adverts contain images.
    In some rare cases other plugins use same name classes
   as AdRotate which may cause things to show up weirdly.

 * Thanks. That was it. The problem was in the theme not your plugin. My apologies.
