In any case I have changed the tables over to using the DIV tag instead which seems to load much quicker. You can see it in use here: www.4winmobile.com.

Thanks for that!

DON'T post "iffy" code, post code you are sure will work. People who know nothing about code will copy your code and use it, then come back here with more problems than they started out with.

Table code, if done properly, requires you to use at least:
All that code adds weight to the page and also gives search engine spiders a lot more to wade through to get to your content. Keeping it simple, while still adhering to valid code standards, lets you reduce the code to:
However, you can't just put DIVs willy-nilly anywhere you want. You do have to be cognizant of the code surrounding the DIVs. For instance, you canNOT do this:
You CAN put DIVs within <td></td> and you can put DIVs before or after the table structure. It's always a good idea to check the validity of the code using the w3 Validator ( http://validator.w3.org/ ), but if your pages are already screwed up with poorly coded hacks, modifications and style code, you will have a lot of work ahead to fix it all. The page you linked to has 159 errors. I would be asking the individual authors of those to fix the code. If enough people did that, maybe authors would finally stop being so sloppy with their work.

You're welcome. However, just replacing a single table with a DIV doesn't necessarily speed the page load time up enough to see with the nekkid eye. It all adds up though. The page you linked to took a pretty long time to load on my DSL connection. You have more issues than just table structure replaced for DIVs.

All good points thanks for that.

Custom block code does not work if inserted in FORUMDISPLAY template file. Any help on this?

Thanks

This thread is about vB Ad Management. It has well over 2,000 posts. Let's not make it even more difficult for those searching for info on vB Ad Mgmt by discussing issues that have nothing to do with it. Please find the appropriate venue for your other issues - like the vBadvanced discussion on your nav module, the people responsible for Clickapps, and whoever else modified your code. vBSkins is not responsible - they provided you with valid coded style (unless you're using an older version than they have on their site now).

Anyway, let's leave this thread for what it was intended for.

I'm trying to figure out a way to get the "left and right column" ads to stay fixed and to the top of the right side. I thought that they would do this by default but when I view my site in firefox the ads fall down.

Is there any HTML code I can paste in front of the add code in the Ad Managerment Control Panel?

How does one add the code to a non-vB page that is powered by vB's permissions?

Does it include statistics for every ad ?

I am still having trouble with the side columns. I have tried all the different layouts you have shown here and I can't get 2 google ads to run one under the other. I have one that's an image only ad layout then a text and image version under it. It shows as it should in the admin panel but not on the forum pages. http://foodnetworkfans.com/

Um....yeah....I installed vb Ad Management today and now nothing is showing up on my index page. It's completely blank (white). Can anyone tell me what happened here and how to get things back to normal?
