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.
Quote:
* 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 in your header template and replace it with $header_advertisement.
* Find $spacer_open in your header template and below it paste $leftcolumn_advertisement.

That is a problem with Google, sometimes all the ads don't show up and they don't allow more than 3 per page, the rest will be blank.

I'm upgrading from 2.1 to 3.1 today. I'm not interested in Ad Sharing and I only want ads in the header (top right), in the footer (bottom center) and under the navbar (center).
I don't have right or left columns, and I don't want ads between posts or anywhere other than those three places.
I've been using 2.1 with ads in the header and under the navbar.
I've been using the footer code under the navbar, but I want to put an ad in the footer now, so I need another code for the navbar. Could I use one of the other ad codes under the navbar?
Where exactly is the "forumbit" ad supposed to display? I've turned it on but I can't see it anywhere.
Sorry to be so clueless, but I'm a newbie and not a programmer. Thanks!

Showing my ignorance again but I'll just tell you what I've done for now.
I've got the ads working back the way I had them. One in the header (right) and one under the navbar (center). I'm using the header code for the header ad and the footer code for the navbar ads.
I still would like to put one ad block in the footer. I want to put google down there. Can I just put the google ad code in the footer somewhere without using vb ad Management or do I need something else?
I'm very happy with the way my forum looks now and don't want to mess it up with columns or something extra... but some of my members would like google ads so I thought I'd put them at the bottom.
I am sorry if this has been covered before. The ad management is working great, however, I would like the side ad to appear in the forum, but not my CMS (vbadvanced). Check out myfishsite.com You'll see that the ad makes the homepage awkward! So again, I would like the side ad only in the forums, not vbadvanced! Thanks in advance for the help, great mod btw!

If you look at the bottom of the modification post that appears at the top of every page, there is a guide about how to add your own custom adcode blocks. It's very quick and easy to do.

You need to find out what the THIS_SCRIPT definition for vB Advanced is because I can't remember myself, but you just need to add it to the Global Settings and all adverts will be excluded from that page.
