Need Help Locating Mods

[JaredTBH]

Hello,

I recently purchased VB.

I have been, and still am, running Simple Machines Forum v 1.1.11

I am very excited to switch to VB but I am having a hard time finding the mods I need. I have certain mods that SMF uses that my site relies upon. However I cant find mods to do the same in VB. I am hoping I can get some help locating mods.

my current site can be seen at www.theb+++++++s.com/bassin-forums/

the ads on the right hand side is something that I really need to be able to keep. That is part of a mod that allows me to place ads in several different locations on my message boards. I can turn off the ads by simply checking and unchecking them to make them active or inactive.

Though the right side ad is just one large 150 wide table that I created (and edit to ad or remove banners) in dreamweaver. Id like to be able to do the same. It is actually very important that I can do this as my advertisers pay to be there.

Please help me.

Thank you

There are various banner rotator mods you can install and VBulletin has built in "Ad Location" templates where you can easily add/edit/remove ad HTML codes and they will show up in the specified locations. For your right side ad I'd guess the way to do it would be with a custom template and you'd add that to your existing templates- are you sure you're going to use VB3.x? 4.x is the newest version and has a sidebar built in... just curious before I get into too much detail... I actually would recommend vb 3.8 over 4.0 but many would not.

Thank you for the reply.

I was originally going with vb4 but a friend of mine who runs a vb site recommended that I go with 3.8 instead of 4.

I guess I should check into vb templates.

Thank you

No problem. You may want to see what you're going to do about a style (skin) for your forum first... if you're going with a heavily customized style you'll want to wait until it's designed before you go adding templates.
