ads after first post
 

Hi,

I am new and need some help. I would like to display two banner adds after the first post of every page like this http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1124794

I am new to VB, so if any one knows I appreciate your help.

Thanks

Log into your AdminCP and go to Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Your Skin -> Edit Templates -> Ad Location Templates

There are multiple templates there where you can easily add ads to your forums, including in the first post. I don't know off-hand which one this would be, but I think it's ad_showthread_firstpost

Thanks alot. GTAce

I know need to know how to centre them and add a small gap inbetween the banners?

You can center them by putting <center> before the ads and </center> after them

For spacing: If the ads are side-by-side, put &nbsp; in between them. If the ads are on top of each other, put <br /> between them. You can put however many of those &nbsp; or <br /> in between the ads. More = more spacing :)

Thanks again for the help. still a bit unsure exactly where i input the text? Is this correct:

<center>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-";
/* 728x90, created 3/12/09 */
google_ad_slot = "2678264998";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

<br />

<center>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-";
/* 728x90, created 3/12/09 */
google_ad_slot = "2678264998";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

This will probably achieve what you're looking for:
