Here's the "red code" from the thread linked above, changed for vb4 template syntax.

<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS[threadcount] == X AND in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('forumdisplay', 'search'))">

	<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS[threadcount] = 1"></vb:if>

	<tr>
		<td class="alt1">
			&nbsp;
		</td>
		<vb:if condition="$show['threadicons']">
			<td class="alt2">
				&nbsp;
			</td>
		</vb:if>
		<td class="alt1">
			YOUR AD CODE HERE
		</td>
		<td class="alt2">
			&nbsp;
		</td>
		<td class="alt1" align="center">
			&nbsp;
		</td>
		<td class="alt2" align="center">
			&nbsp;
		</td>
		<vb:if condition="$show['forumlink']">
			<td class="alt1">
				&nbsp;
			</td>
		</vb:if>
		<vb:if condition="$show['inlinemod']">
			<td class="alt1">
				&nbsp;
			</td>
		</vb:if>
	</tr>

<vb:else />

	<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS[threadcount]++"></vb:if>

</vb:if>

The only chages were to add "vb:" to the if and else tags. But I haven't tried it so I'm not sure if these are the only changes that are needed to update the code for vb4:
