Is there a way to expand the amount of white space around the advertisements on the site?  Expand the space between the top and bottom of the ads to prevent accidental ad clicks.  
 

thanks. 

Or how do I get my ads not to hang on the bottom of the ad space like this?

 

@Rikki is there a way to force the site to add a few pixels under the ad units?

One option is editing the 'topic' template (under forums -> topics in the template editor). Look for {$advertisement|raw} in that template (about 2/3 down), and wrap it in a div, like so:

<div class='ipsSpacer_both ipsSpacer_double'>
  {$advertisement|raw}
</div>

Tried that.  Doesn’t seemed to have helped.  Is there a custom CSS I can add?

Either add a CSS class to your Adsense code or wrap it in a div then add the CSS class to custom.css and apply padding
