I completely agree with all the suggestions, but I wonder why it wouldn't be possible to have a header builder, it shouldn't be too difficult to define some conditions for the development team. And it would also be a great addition for style developers, giving them more options to create versatile styles.
Apparently they are already doing that. You can customize both the design and the templates. 
No, I meant that we could change the header style using a setting option.
At this point, I ask myself who uses the default style at all. My guess is that many users here will fall back on third-party styles, and as a style creator I don't imagine it's fun to consider an option that only really makes sense in the default style.
As a style creator, I would also have to be able to permanently and unchangeably deactivate this option in my style.
Just because you don’t need it, doesn’t mean nobody does. And the software provides such functionality. To me it seems everything you don’t use is bad for you and everyone who is against a suggestion of you is, too.
There are many places for the ad, such as under the header, under the subject, above the footer, etc. There are many places to place the ad. I understand that there is no place, but there is a place. The header should contain the logo, menu and userbar or search engine, it is not a good place for advertising. Advertisement can be done under the headline on the entire width of the content.
Seriously, there is so much space for advertising on the forum that I would skip the header for visual reasons.
But that's your personal preference.
Your answer practically confirms what I wrote. And even worse, as it seems that you try to cover your personal opinion always with UI or UX if you are confronted with criticism.
What criticism? That's my suggestion. you have the right to a different one, I just explain that these are not my individual preferences, but the standards set by UI / UX. Give your suggestions why the ad should be in the header of the page. 
And how will this ad appear in the woltlab header on a mobile device?
I practically already said that: people are using it.
It however is no suggestion of mine, it’s just a fact and a reason why such a change is not that easy without impacting these people.
And how will this ad appear in the woltlab header on a mobile device?
According to my tests, it does not appear on mobile devices. (*)
It is worth mentioning that all ad placements allow you to set whether or not they should appear on desktop or mobile devices. This allows you to personalise the browsing experience of your website users.
(*) If this ad does not really appear on mobile devices, it might be a good idea to announce it when you select this ad, or to check the Uses desktop option by default (or display the Uses mobile device option as not selectable).

That depends on the style.
That depends on the style.
Thanks for the information Geronimo. I had tested the option with WoltLab's default style.
