I found this hack and thought it was pretty cool but for my needs, I dont use AdSense so I wanted to be able to put pre-defined, targeted ad tags from AdvertPRO (or AdCycle or PHP AdsNew etc) onto each forum. In other words, if the forum topic is electronics, I only want electronics based ads on those pages, and if the topic of the forum is Cooking, i only want cooking ads to show up. Google Adsense does that automatically by scanning for words on the page but my ad system doesnt

What I did was create a 300x250 ad placement for each form and then i made a large series of if/else commands and it in my postbit (in my case the postbit_legcy). It says "if its this forum, show the corresponding ad". Here is the code for ya'll to check out and use if you want. It's a modified version of unitedpunjab's "Adsense Inside the Post". I always give credit where credi is due!

Here be the code. Of course fill in your own ad code that corrsponds with what ads you want to show up in each forum. It's very important that you have the correct number if </if> tags at the end, one for each "if/else". Mine has 17 of em (I only show 4 here). Anyone think this will cause major problems or load issues?
