Features include global settings, advertisements allowing template conditionals, ad sharing and ad revenue sharing, timed advertisements, preset popular ad locations and functions such as sponsors, additional custom ad locations, random and static advertisements and its all very easy to use. You can use it for ordinary ads like adsense, banner rotations, or any content at all as well as using it to manage ads outside your forum too.
If you are using autoinsertion and were using vB Ad Management before version 4.00, you will need to remove your old template edits or advertisements will appear multiple times. Just reverse the old instructions below.

I've found that I'm placing the $template other than what is descirbed in the documentation. For example, I didn't like how low and out of sight the footer ad was, so I placed it in FORUMHOME and FORUMDISPLAY in netween the threads table and navigation at the bottom. Will this result in any sort of performance hit on my forum?
O.K., here's another..I've got one 728 x 90 leaderboard as my header, a 728 x 90 at the beginning of every post, and a 728 x 90 at the end of every post. I use two 468 x 60 banners within my forumbit and postbit.
I don't like the smaller banners, as I have text and image ads, more time than not, the banner will display only the text ads. It seems the larger, more graphical 728 x 90 ads aren't available in 468 x 60.
Is there a way to change forumbit_advertisement and postbit_advertisement files to spread horizontally across the "last post" and "threads" column, and perhaps leave the last column "posts" for the "sponsored links" blurb?
If this isn't clear, I can post an image of what I mean.

I think I follow. If you look in the forumbit advertisement template, there's a colspan definition. This defines how many table columns that cell spreads across. So if you wanted it to spread across the entire table, you could remove all the other columns from the template and set colspan="99". It will span 99 columns or since there aren't that many, just as many as the table has. So if you wanted to leave the Sponsored Links cell, you'd set colspan to the number of columns the table has, minus one.
Same goes for the threadbit_advertisement template (I'm assuming that's what you meant rather than postbit).
I experience it myself you are not making any mistake. I simply used vBulletin's own suggested code. It sounds likely that this is a Firefox problem, but I'd certainly make the appropriate changes if anyone can provide alternative code.
Many Thanks for confirming this Red Tyger - Great Support!
