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.

* Paste $threadbit_advertisement at the bottom of your threadbit template.
* Paste $footer_advertisement at the top of your footer template.
* Find $spacer_close in your footer template and below it paste $rightcolumn_advertisement.

In any case I have changed the tables over to using the DIV tag instead which seems to load much quicker. You can see it in use here: www.4winmobile.com.
Well yes I know the code posted was a bit iffy as a snippet, but I was trying to show that using <br /> works.
DON'T post "iffy" code, post code you are sure will work. People who know nothing about code will copy your code and use it, then come back here with more problems than they started out with.

However you recommend using DIV instead of using seperate aligned tables?
Table code, if done properly, requires you to use at least:
Code:
<table>
<tr>
<td>data here</td>
</tr>
</table>
All that code adds weight to the page and also gives search engine spiders a lot more to wade through to get to your content. Keeping it simple, while still adhering to valid code standards, lets you reduce the code to:
Code:
<div>data here</div>
However, you can't just put DIVs willy-nilly anywhere you want. You do have to be cognizant of the code surrounding the DIVs. For instance, you canNOT do this:
Code:
<table>
<tr>
<div>data here</div>
<td>more data here</td>
</tr>
</table>
You CAN put DIVs within <td></td> and you can put DIVs before or after the table structure. It's always a good idea to check the validity of the code using the w3 Validator ( http://validator.w3.org/ ), but if your pages are already screwed up with poorly coded hacks, modifications and style code, you will have a lot of work ahead to fix it all. The page you linked to has 159 errors. I would be asking the individual authors of those to fix the code. If enough people did that, maybe authors would finally stop being so sloppy with their work.

Thanks for that!
You're welcome. However, just replacing a single table with a DIV doesn't necessarily speed the page load time up enough to see with the nekkid eye. It all adds up though. The page you linked to took a pretty long time to load on my DSL connection. You have more issues than just table structure replaced for DIVs.
This thread is about vB Ad Management. It has well over 2,000 posts. Let's not make it even more difficult for those searching for info on vB Ad Mgmt by discussing issues that have nothing to do with it. Please find the appropriate venue for your other issues - like the vBadvanced discussion on your nav module, the people responsible for Clickapps, and whoever else modified your code. vBSkins is not responsible - they provided you with valid coded style (unless you're using an older version than they have on their site now).
Anyway, let's leave this thread for what it was intended for.
I'm trying to figure out a way to get the "left and right column" ads to stay fixed and to the top of the right side. I thought that they would do this by default but when I view my site in firefox the ads fall down.
Is there any HTML code I can paste in front of the add code in the Ad Managerment Control Panel?
I am still having trouble with the side columns. I have tried all the different layouts you have shown here and I can't get 2 google ads to run one under the other. I have one that's an image only ad layout then a text and image version under it. It shows as it should in the admin panel but not on the forum pages. http://foodnetworkfans.com/
Um....yeah....I installed vb Ad Management today and now nothing is showing up on my index page. It's completely blank (white). Can anyone tell me what happened here and how to get things back to normal?
