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'm still new to php and vbulletin. I wanted to ask if its at all possible to add two more rotating banners to the header and footer of my forum. Is that something that is pretty easy to do? Can someone give me a hand with doing that?
It would be much appreciated.
Very easy. Go to AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > vB Ad Management (header & footer) and in both the random sections add your banner code for that section separated by a |. i.e.
Then go to AdminCP > Styles > Styles Manager > Edit Templates (Style dropdown menu) and edit the header and footer templates, inserting $header_advertisement and $footer_advertisement in the appropriate templates where you want the banners to appear. Then just adjust your vB Ad Management Global Settings as necessary.
Ok one thing that makes it a bit more complicated. I have one banner in the header that I want to show 728x90 banners and two banners under that that I want to show 468x60 banners. How do i make them only display one size?
Perhaps i'm missing something. I understand how to put the 468 banner in the admin cp section in the rotation field. But that means that there will be both 728 and 468 banners in the same section. So if I then add the $header_advertisement to the header, then it will rotate between both sizes.
What I'd like to achieve is to have the top banner only show the 728 banners and the two banners underneath only show the 468 banners. I hope this makes sense.
And I hope I'm just missing something and this is still easy to do.
