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 am having some problems with my right column ads showing up - instead of being where they are supposed to be, they show up in the forum footer, as opposed to their intended position. Any idea? I followed everything to a key, and nothing is working.
Well, I got the same problem and tried to find the solution.
I took these steps:
1) Go to vb ad management / Global Settings and set the option "Automatically insert advertisements?" to No.
2) Go to Styles & Templates and search for the template FORUMHOME, insert "$rightcolumn_advertisement" after $navbar (beggining lines, or wherever but it was fine for me), you have to reduce all the widhts there from 100% to 80% (there were 3 near the header) because there is no space to put the right column if it is set to 100%. then save
3) Search the template "advertisement_rightcolumn" in the fourth line set the: <table align="right" (it was left in mine) and save.
4) The right column in "Left & Right Columns" have to be enabled obviously.
I guess that is it. At least for me worked.
Good luck & Regards

I am somewhat new to vBulletin coding, so I could use some help. I am trying to figure out how to add a banner to the forumbit sections. There are 4 different forumbit templates that can be modified; post, no_post, 1, and 2. Which are which?
Also, I am a little confused on what to put here $x_advertisement, where the x is. It was a bit vague in the installation guide for some of the coding newbies.
Thanks by the way, seems like a great mod! Marked as installed.

I really cannot thank you enough. This is great code for someone like me, who is still quite green when it comes to editing the CSS. Your guidelines worked perfectly, and I really appreciate the help!
