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.

I have installed it on my forum. The space for adds only shows up in the threads and then the add does not show up just the box for it. It is not in my usergroup permissions page. What could be the issue?

[RedTyger]

What adcode are you using? It's common for Google ads and things like that to display nothing sometimes.

[revmitchell]

Yea thats it google adcode. anyway around that. I cannot get it to display at all in the main forum index. Is that the way it is supposed to be?

[RedTyger]

When you set up adsense you can choose for it to display nothing or a public service announcement when it has nothing to display...so you might want to change that? Which section is it not working for on the main forum index. Header and footer ads should work everywhere no problem.

[revmitchell]

It doesnt show up any where on the main forum index. I still do not uderstand what you are saying about the google adds

[RedTyger]

Yes, what doesn't show up on the main index? Header ads? Forumbit ads?

Google sometimes give you the option to display something else when it has no adverts to display. That's an option when setting up the ads with Google themselves, it's not something I can do.

Will a version come out to be able to have ads display within specific post you choose or create?

Can you explain further? You mean have ads display with specifc post IDs? That will not be an option, it's far too specific.

Will this have file edits if that were possible? or just to complicated to add this and to upgrade it.
