Author Advertisement Pages Increased

We have expanded the number of pages which will display author advertisements from one to five.

Previously author advertisements were only shown on the final /download page for an addon. Author advertisements will now show on all pages associated with an addon.

Using Reagent Restocker as an example, the following pages will show advertisements for the Google Adsense account associated with the author:

Along with the responsive ad units, and modified placements, we've implemented a fully responsive design, so the site should be more accessible on a wider range of devices and screen sizes.
