What I have been noticing is dropping sidebars. Instead of being on the side, they suddenly drop to being under the posts. This is especially common in 3-column themes, but I've seen it on a few two-column themes too.
Yeah, sidebars are the main cause of it. For some reason a lot of people think that because they've got several screen's worth of sidebar space that its a good idea to fill it all up with various ads, to try and squeeze every little cent out of it.
