<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

Stupid question, but did you save the settings under vbulletin options/ Adcolumn settings? So that it displays ? Make sure its turned on..

Not sure if anyone has played with the layout but my experience is whenever you add a left (or right) hand column to the forums board for ads, etc, the main board gets skewed in it's appearance. Especially if you have good descriptions of the individal forums. Things get skrunched and off kilter. Anyone come up with just the right adjustmenst so as not to lose info but make it look good?

If yes, can you post your site and how you did it?
