I would uninstall the Mod, revert your templates you changed and re-install and edit those templates again. I am running 3.7.2 with the latest patch and this install has been upgraded at every step from 3.6.8.

This does work, and works well except for a few minor/medium level things and more serious (all below).

Minor/Medium:

Documentation needs work....

He's using new Template Names (little different format than original VB 3.7 Ad Location Templates but some of his new ones use the original format (with the last underscore) - they may get confusing in the future.

You do have to select either Ads Rotation or Auto Refresh Ads for many of the locations that have these options, you can't select both (as posted previously) and you cannot have both unselected. I would think you could leave both unchecked and it would just display the code - no big deal though.

You do have to enable the Navbar options to use the Left Column Ad (I assume it is supposed to be the same with the Right which doesn't work) even though you don't want to use the Navbar Location (simply enable Navbar and leave its Ad Code empty/blank).

Sometimes there is a space/line break between the lines "Copyright ?2000 - 2008, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd." and "Advertisement System V2.3 By Branden" at the bottom... it doesn't happen on all pages and at all times (I have not spent much time with this one).

Serious:

The Right Column does not work at all (I didn't spend a lot of time with it though since I'm liking the Left Column for two of my Ads - for now)...


I'd like to see:

Full install/more things completed during install.

Option to add (enable/disable with Permissions) Custom Text under all or most of the Ad Locations: i.e. "Register to remove this ad. It's free!". I know we can manually add this in the templates (with some work), I do feel this should be something easy for admins to accomplish, at least in the postbit and threadbit locations. This Option should have Usergroup Permission Options. <--- #1 Option I want.

Options to easily adjust horizontal and vertical justification for all Ad Locations (or most).

The Affiliate Title (i.e. 'Sponsored Links', Blank, 'My Affiliates' or whatever) should be separate from the others' (Left/Right Column and Navbar Locations) Title (i.e. 'Sponsored Links', Blank or whatever)

Others, but I can remember right now - I may edit later..

I disagree!

Permissions work as expected and I am satisfied with this release... from the previous version release dates, he does seem active in updates so I thing the product will only improve. I would put priority on the Right Column Ad issue.

Give yourself some time, don't give up.. this product does work and work well... his instructions (maybe his English?) needs improvement.

Adsense does work! Remember, once you have new Adsense Code, it can take a little time for the Ads to show up. Also, since it's against Google's rules, I don't use Auto Refresh with their Ads.. I simply enable Ads Rotation and have code in for Adsense (one Ad).

Thank You karim004, Keep up the Good Work!
