I was wondering if anyone knows how to add an extra block in between 2 forums?

In other words:

http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards

Like the large sponsorship block at the top the one that has our SpeedZone ad in it I'd like to add another block like that in between "Trip Reports and Travel Tips" and "games"

Thanks!

An extra block? Are you talking about how the categories are separated? That's just a template edit?

I attached to gifs to explain.

The first one is our current layout with the forums separated.

Not in a very elegant fashion, I'm afraid. :(

But I wonder if you could do it with some creative CSS - perhaps by creating an 'empty' category where you want the banner to be. I dunno.

there must be an easier way right? I mean won't it just be in a template?

no ... it has to be done in coding... because the forumblocks are one template... you either go right after them ... or right before them... not inbetween :D

posting two threads isn't a fine behaviour.

Cool. I hope its not confuseing now with the merged threads. We still need to do this. We have dropped the amount of banner ads and need to fill that void with a static one. we use a banner ad system and i am looking to make this custom block to house the ad.
