I have 1 advert there and on the advert page it asks me to choose a position. In my template I have <!--@vbbanners:0@--> global under the nav bar and I also have <!--@vbbanners:0@--> in the rotating banner settings page.

But if I change the banner to position 6, the banner still appears, how does all that work?

Also in the options, do I need to edit the Nth placeholder to add more positions or do I just leave it as <!--@vbbanners:0@-->? If I want more positions to be used, do I just fill the box like this <!--@vbbanners:0@-->, <!--@vbbanners:1@-->, <!--@vbbanners:2@--> etc.?

I want to use several positions.

1 global under nav
1 under thread list
1 after 15 posts
1 after each post
1 after the forum lists but above the footer, who's online etc. I realise I may need to do some manual edits to achieve this.

Just trying to get my head around the placeholder thing. Thanks

You can use vbSEO HTML cleaning, but then you have to change the placeholder to something different than a HTML comment. As told in the large PDF file

You normally would use the same placeholder over and over again in most of your templates. The formula inside will fill each same placeholder with a different banner as long as you have some in the database. You very rarely would use another "location" than 0. Thus, you would use

<!--@vbbanners:0@-->

one or more times in a page, and each time another banner appears, unless you have less available.

Of course, the placeholder looks the way as defined in the options
