At the beginning, before all the code, add this code

<style type="text/css">
<!--
#sponsorAdDiv {position:absolute; height:1; width:1px; top:0; left:0;}
-->
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">

adTime=20;  // seconds ad reminder is shown
chanceAd=1; 
var ns=(document.layers);
var ie=(document.all);
var w3=(document.getElementById && !ie);
var calunit=ns? "" : "px"
adCount=0;
function initAd(){
    if(!ns && !ie && !w3) return;
    if(ie)        adDiv=eval('document.all.sponsorAdDiv.style');
    else if(ns)    adDiv=eval('document.layers["sponsorAdDiv"]');
    else if(w3)    adDiv=eval('document.getElementById("sponsorAdDiv").style');
    randAd=Math.ceil(Math.random()*chanceAd);
        if (ie||w3)
        adDiv.visibility="visible";
        else
        adDiv.visibility ="show";
    if(randAd==1) showAd();
}
function showAd(){
if(adCount<adTime*10){adCount+=1;
    if (ie){documentWidth  =truebody().offsetWidth/2+truebody().scrollLeft-20;
    documentHeight =truebody().offsetHeight/2+truebody().scrollTop-20;}    
    else if (ns){documentWidth=window.innerWidth/2+window.pageXOffset-20;
    documentHeight=window.innerHeight/2+window.pageYOffset-20;} 
    else if (w3){documentWidth=self.innerWidth/2+window.pageXOffset-20;
    documentHeight=self.innerHeight/2+window.pageYOffset-20;} 
    adDiv.left=documentWidth-200+calunit;adDiv.top =documentHeight-200+calunit;
    setTimeout("showAd()",100);}else closeAd();
}
function closeAd(){
if (ie||w3)
adDiv.display="none";
else
adDiv.visibility ="hide";
}

function truebody(){
return (document.compatMode && document.compatMode!="BackCompat")? document.documentElement : document.body
}

onload=initAd;
//End-->
</script>
<!-- Inizio script -->
<if condition="$show['guest']">
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'">
<div id="sponsorAdDiv" style="visibility:hidden">

[frank42]

it will work on /forums.php but not index.php any ideas

[frank42]

in script i have it as

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'">

[cionfs]

forums.php and index.php? Have you installed ibproarcade?

[frank42]

yes i have, index is my home page and forums is my forums page

[cionfs]

Your "forum index" is forum.php.

Index.php is "arcade index".

Try this

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'arcade'">

[frank42]
