This is an issue which appears on a few systems but until now I don't know why, nor how to reproduce. It seems to depend on the & character in XML files and how servers read. In any case, those settings may be accessed also from the vBulletin settings list (bottom). This link was intended as a shortcut.

The rest of this add-on seems to work pretty well.

What would be nice would be an option to have different sets of ads defined to rotate in different places. For example, I use a small banner in the logo header area but I also have a leaderboard banner in above the stats. I see that someone has suggested you can use the "vertical" banners and just not make them vertical, but it would be nice to expand the add-on to explicitly alloow this.
The problem with the number of Ad Sets is mainly the way how placeholders are replaced. If I would allow for, let's say 10 Ad Sets, tomorrow promptly there will be somebody who wants 11, 20 or 100. The way how Ad Sets are handled, will not allow for an unlimited number, unless to make the product heavy, slow and difficult to manage. Do we really want this?

How many places do we need? Would 10 different places be fine? Definitely? More than 10 places would make the settings overcrowded...
