G'day all,

I'm needing a specific hack for my forums, one that will insert an iframe on the right-hand side of the first post in each thread in only two of my site's forums. And I'm needing this urgently!

The reason for this is that the iframe will include a small HTML page linking to various deals and specials at my site's major sponsor, and the two forums in question are the two news forums I have on site. As I'm getting a lot of traffic from other sites linking to these two forums, I'm needing some way to ensure that my sponsor's ads are "in your face" if my site is to survive.

For an example, check out this thread:

Ideally, I'd like to have the iframe on the right hand side of the first post. As the iframe is a fixed length, it would be great to have the text wrap around it like it does the embedded image link on the left.

This is extremely urgent, as we're nearly at the end of February and so far it doesn't look like that my sponsor is going to meet their target ROI (return on investment) which means no dollars for me, which means no way to keep my site running!

If anybody is willing to take up this challenge, I will gladly compensate you for your time. I'm not able to pay much, but I could also offer to include an icon ad after the iframe to advertise your site for you. As my site gets around 225 thousand page views a month, and the vast majority of them hit these two news forums, that's a lot of people that can be exposed to your site via the icon ad.

Again, this is incredibly urgent - we're talking I need a hack like this (or something simialr) yesterday urgent! If anyone can help, please reply here or e-mail me at xfan@ihug.com.au ASAP!

Thanks for your time,

I am sure there is a better solution, but off the top of my head -- I would use Firefly's newest hack that lets you alter the postbit of the first post. Maybe even alter that for the first two posts??

Anyhow, I think it can be forum specific and in that new postbit you create you can add whatever it is you need to display the ads.

Have you seen some of the advertisement hacks around here? They might be what your looking for.

Which hack is the postbit one that you mentioned?

And have any of the ad hacks been posted for others to use?
