The problem is this:

In: vb Ad management Global settings:


Display advertisements in ForumIDs:
Enter the IDs of the forums in which you want to display the advertisements, separated by your delimiter. (i.e. 1|2|3)

If you only want to exclude forums instead of including them, leave this blank to display the advertisement in every forum except those listed below, if any.

This setting does not apply to the header or footer or side columns.

I have this set to one forum number, since all I do is have in line post ads in one forum (forum 9). It looks like this setting is being applied to the header and footer, since the header and footer ads are on for forum 9, the index, and all "other" pages (like calendar and search and so on) but are disabled on all other forum indexes and thread view pages.
