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 was wondering does this also have the feature of showing ad randomly? Like sometimes its on the first post, sometimes its 6th, sometimes 8th. More or less anyway to have it to show on every page of the thread once?
Sorry guys, I haven't yet finished with the modifications to fully allow channel ID to be entered along with the client ID.
At this stage it works absolutely fantastic with the adsense code added to the header template. Haven't yet worked on the postbit, footer and the other parts where this add-on can control how ads should be displayed.
I'm not sure if there were an easier way to do this, but I have just rewriten the code to add the client ID. Also, I have made database additions to a few tables, still working on it...
I don't see how it would be possible without extensive code modification and another custom field, no. Sounds like you're taking the approach I would have done.
I may possibly look into formatting the modification in way that adding extra shared fields is a 2 minute cut-and-paste job like adding custom adcode blocks, but there hasn't been much demand for it and I'm currently looking into per-forum adcode for the moment.
Actually I might be able to now. Someone asked me for help about it saying that the multiple-line issue occurred every few days, sounding like a scheduled task from a modification was interfering temporarily.
So I'll see what I hear back. I can say without question that it's not my modification causing the problem.
