Maybe it is a complete coincidence, but since upgrading to 5, there has been a 68% drop in AdSense revenue. While the community has been somewhat quieter, it has never been that low and I wonder if it may be something affecting things since upgrading to 5.

All ads load, all same ad positions are set as 4, page loading times are fine, so I really don't know.

Mine personally has remained about the same as it was previously. I know hat doesnt help you much of course

@LemonGrenade have you made any changes to the page layout?

No, it's the same, even kept the classic layout. I was thinking it may have been down to the JavaScript thing mentioned in another topic, so not sure if it's connected somehow. The ad load may possibly be a little longer time that they appear within topic posts, which obviously could affect it.

I have seen a drop since upgrading and didn't want to rush in and make a topic, in case it was just purely lower traffic (which it doesn't appear to be) and neither did I want people running AdSense to not upgrade on the strength of that. It was more to see if anyone else found the same issue, so the guys could maybe locate a fix, if indeed it is somehow connected to the newer platform.
