Works out of the box, even on my heavily modded forum. Says a lot about your coding since a lot of mods crash my forum. Yours is perfect.

Well done!

Then I can put a different ad in each forum?

[elfenny]

I have a problem, I focused the image around the forum, as I can fix?

Is it possible to add the link and banner under the "Post New Thread" link below the forums description .. See Picture ...

Thanks

Thanks

If you aren't using the ad_navbar_below location for other ads, you could move or copy that to the showthread template below the reply button.

Thanks Jim, but not quite sure what you mean ??? I am not using the ad_navbar_below, but there is no code in there to transfer over??? ?

Copy and Paste this:

{vb:raw ad_location.ad_navbar_below}

into your forumdisplay template after this code:

<div id="pagetitle" class="pagetitle">
	<h1>{vb:rawphrase forum}: <span class="forumtitle">{vb:raw foruminfo.title}</span></h1>
	<vb:if condition="$foruminfo['description']"><p class="description">{vb:raw foruminfo.description}</p></vb:if>
</div>

Then in the navbar template, find and delete this (or comment it out):

{vb:raw ad_location.ad_navbar_below}

You can leave your ad_navbar_below template empty. This mod generates a template and inserts it into that template.

Jim, thanks very much, that has dropped the image down, but in the center and not left beneath the the Forum description ....

Edit the add_banner template and remove

<center> and </center>
