Cheers but both dont work on 4.0.6.

I don't know why. They both work for me with 4.06.

Well, I added my vote to http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-7586 . Please everyone do the same?

Thanks. And yes, please do. They originally marked this for fixing in 4.06. Well, obviously it wasn't fixed in 4.06 and they've downgraded it to Minor and Unassigned. If we're going to get someone to do something abiut it, we obviously have to make more noise. :mad:

Well... I re-read the instructions. I'm using vbSEO so I did have 1 minor thing set up incorrectly. After fixing this, I'm now able to see the ads but only on the Forum pages. I cannot see ads on any other pages through-out my site nor does it work within the header.

It's very possible that I simply have a limited understanding of how this works and that the ads are not showing because I'm not doing something right. It looks pretty self explainitory but who knows.

If I want an ad within my header, (ad_global_header1), I just add the following to the template:

<div align="center">@vbbanners:0@</div>

The ads do show up under the navbar with no problem using this code.

Voted too. I didnt realise this problem had been put to one side by the developers.

I have advertisers in both these vanished slots and an upgrade to 4.06 would have caused me all kind of problems. In all honesty I wish I'd stayed where I was on version 3 because I feel like a beta tester.

Odd.

The file edit isn't there on the postbit for me - did you revert your postbit template when you upgraded?

Also, ad_showthread_firstpost was discarded in 4.0.6?

I;m not sure what you mean by this. Are you saying the placeholder for the ad isn't there? If so, put it back in.

Yes, I always do a side-by-side comparison, then revert, then add in the customization for every template that is flagged as needing to be reverted.

No. It disappeared in 4.04 and we're still waiting for them to put it back.

Thats what confused me mate, they can't both work for you because in 4.0.6 ad_showthread_firstpost is missing?

Thanks for trying to help though
