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.

Thank you RedTyget,
i realize there's usergroup control involving all the banners as a whole, but what i exactly meant was (sorry for my english!)... is there a way to do a selective control of which banner to display for different usergroups ? i.e. : registered users only view banner X and Y, while unregistered visitors view banners X, Y and Z.
There are some quite sizable forums using the modification and it's gradually been made more efficient over the versions. There's not really much I can do to improve it by this point. I think it's quite effectively done. Certainly it should not have a significant effect and I'd be surprised if it had even a small effect to be honest.
I have the following problem in the threadbit template:
Currently I use adsense as revenue source and share it with registered users.
I have 3 ad blocks in the threadbit (the page that shows a list of threads within a forum). When I looked into the source code, I found that the ads client ids on the same page are different, i.e. within one page it is showing three different people's ads. I quickly disabled ad sharing and would like to seek for help here as adsense's TOS prohibits showing more than one pub id being show on a single page.
Advise what? Don't use #shared# in your threadbit adcode and it won't use adsharing. It takes the shared code of the thread starter or last person to post in the thread for each thread, so it will come up with more than one if they're different.
