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.

Have you considered something where if the user pays for the subscription they in turn are given an italic username? Or is that not something this plugin can do?
One question to ask you is (maybe someone has ask before), if I don't use any of the $advertisement_code, and put adsense directly into the forum itself using the ad code with "#shared#", it won't work ya?
What's the work ard for it? Reason I'm doing this is I want to add an ad code (text link adsense) in my edit, reply, quote table.. but I can't do that.. tried "cheating" by dumping the ad code in the $footer_advertisement and insert the $footer_advertisement into the table but it won't work...

Sorry kiplarson,
this plugin is purely for ad management only (I believe!). I guess the things you are looking for will not be available in the plugin.. so you have to search around vb.org to get it. I'm sure somewhere.. someone has designed it already. =)
Can anyone figure out my little annoying problem with my left sided ad? http://rubberstampchat.net/
The purple border I can live with and putting border ="0" won't get rid of it because it's a border around the cell and not the image. What is so annoying to me is the sliver of cream colored background under the ad. I got rid of the large matting around the ad but I can't figure out how to get rid of that last little bit. It's almost as if there is a   in the code somewhere but I can't find one....anyone? If someone wants a black ad it will look really strange.

Again, this is done with the default vBulletin features. When you're setting up the premium usergroup, there's an option for "Username Markup" (near the top). In the first box put <em> and in the second box put </em>. Voila, italic usernames for premium members.

any idea how I can do that?
That's correct, it is not possible to do ad-sharing without using the plugin. The ordinary advertisement organisation is possible without, for the most part. It just makes it easier this way.

I'm afraid I don't see a left column...or any advertisements at all! I need a screenshot or to see for myself to really understand.

If there's other bugs, as apparently there are, they'll all be fixed together in the next update. So for now, I'm afraid not. But it's very easy to just paste it in the bottom of the footer template instead.
Hey, I don't think you answered my question about premium yearly subscriptions. Is there support for this? i.e. pay to get into the premium usergroup?
That system come standard with VBulletin. If you want to combine it with vB ad management just set it to go to http://www.fishyforum.com/payments.php when clicked
RedTyger,
I tuned off my ad for now as I was just testing it for future use. The background around the left column ad was from the cell it was in. I had to make the color of the first alternating color the same as the background color to get rid of it. But I appreciate you checking my site for me!
