Major Additions - vB Ad Management

This modification allows you to add advertisements to your vBulletin software. It's very easy to use, very quick and allows almost unlimited customisation. There is no restriction regarding the content you can use. Adsense, images, flash, plain text and you can use template conditionals and phrases as well. It will put anything, anywhere. Just about.

Features:
- Timed ads.
- Self-refreshing ads.
- Ad rotations.
- Ads using conditionals, phrases and templates.
- Ad sharing.
- Default ad blocks (typical ad block screenshot attached) for all the most popular locations plus another 25 custom blocks.
- Default ad blocks for some of the most popular alternative formats; columns, full-page, sponsors.
- Ads for distributed content (emails and feeds).
- Instant previews before publishing.
- No template edits necessary.
- Compatibility with external pages and software.
- Appearance blending to make your ads look like part of your vBulletin templates.
- Alter hyperlinks to include your referral codes.
- Further details in the manual.

For software-specific management (i.e. threads on a forum, comments on a blog) and/or ad (revenue) sharing you will additionally need the appropriate module.

Additional modules:
Forum
Blog

This modification is supported with a link back to my homepage in the footer. Unbranded is per vBulletin license to be used with, see here for details.

If the dimensions of your banner of 500*80 for example... Make sure that when you create your ad, you specify the exact dimensions.

I'm running openads 2.0. So if I go into "Inventory" then "Banner Properties", there is a location to set your banner "Width" and "Height". Make sure you set that to the dimensions of your banner. If you don't, your banners will no show up.

By the way for those people who complain about this not working... It works just fine on my forum. Yes, it's buggy but you can take a look at how nice it works... http://www.njflyfishing.com.

The ads can be however you like them to be. The mod does not discriminiate, therefore it does not say what size the ads "need to be".

Sorry for the incomplete answer here but you're not being very specific as to your question.

I have it installed and it is working great, except my left column is not showing up on my vBadvanced CMPS homepage. Any ideas/suggestions on how to fix this?

Lo there,

This mod works fine for me when viewing my forum in Firefox. However, when viewed in IE, no ads display... Any suggestions?

Thanks

Is there a way to make it so that a refresh of the ads doesnt shift the page around - i had a few unhappy users about this so i had to disable the function. Id really like to keep the refresh's up though because it makes a big difference to the hits the ads are getting !
