Check the FAQ before requesting support!

What does it do?

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.

You can read in more detail about these and other features in the manual, which also contains some helpful notes and instructions, as well as the installation and upgrade instructions



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.

* Find <!-- post $post[postid] popup menu --> and paste $postbit_advertisement above it in your postbit & postbit_legacy templates.
* Paste $forumbit_advertisement at the bottom of your forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post templates.
* 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.
* Find &nbsp; in your header template and replace it with $header_advertisement.
* Find $spacer_open in your header template and below it paste $leftcolumn_advertisement.

I added $ad_location['ad_navbar_below'] to the bottom of the navbar template and it error'ed out. my navbar basically disappeared after doing that. so weird.

How is this hack working in comparison to Open X ?

Does it work with the latest versions of vB ?

I have searched for an answer to this question, but cannot find one.

I have loaded six ads into the system for the header ad position using the prompts provided in the admincp. When I choose for the banners to refresh periodically, I tried 60 seconds, the ad disappears after the time span and another ad does not appear. If I turn off the periodic refresh the ad rotate whenever the page is changed or refreshed with a click. How can I get the periodic refresh timing system to work?

I get blank page on forumhome if this hack is enabled.

Like I said before I was using the the hooks that vb uses for the ads that way they show right under those. I don't think vbadvanced uses those. So at the end of the navbar (or top of forumhome) take that hook and paste into the box and use that instead.

Does that make sense? hahaha
