Banner ad AFTER footer? How do I do it?

[Sal Collaziano]

I've got a banner ad at the bottom of my forums - and it sometimes takes awhile to load.. Because of this, my forums don't load until this banner is finished loading.. BUT - the header has no trouble at all. I'm guessing this is because the header loads first, then the forums..

I've got to get this banner out of the section that loads the forums.. I need the forums to load up - and then the banner to load next at the bottom. Is there any way to do this? I'm guessing I'd have to manually add it to one of the PHP files.. Could somebody help me out?

Steve Machol responded at vBulletin.com:
Editing the PHP files need to be discussed at vbulletin.org. Why don't you add it to the footer template since that's where it will have to go anyway?

I responded:
That's the thing.. The footer loads the same time as the list of forums. People are getting angry because the forums are either loading very slowly - or NOT at all! ...as a result of the banner ad (ad company). So what I'd like is - for the list of forums to load - along with the footer - Before the banner. If the banner doesn't load - I don't care.. But the forums have to..

Any advice? Thanks in advance...

Any ideas, anyone? Does this sound like something very difficult?
