Frequently Asked Questions.

Q. Why do I need such a thing, you ask?

A. This has been asked for a few times, and was usually a template edit, so I decided to turn it into a product.

Q. Does it only have to be advertising?

A. No, you can put just about anything you want in there.

Q. How is this different from the vBulletin Advertising system?

A. Well if you choose to show the ad in the first post position in vBulletin, the ad will show up on all pages of the thread in the first post. With this way, it will only show up in the very first post of the thread. Also there is no ad location in vBulletin above the signature area for the last post in the thread, but with this system their is.

What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

Ozzy, what I have noticed is if a member doesn't use a Signature then the ad doesn't show on the first and last post.
Where as if the member does use a Signature then it shows as normal like the mod should do

Anyway to make this work so it always shows even if they don't use a Signature?
I only just saw this as many members use a Sig but I just caught it with a few who don't

Ok I think I found a down and dirty way to do this.

I set the signature to show as true, even if the user does not have a signature added. So when you look at the advert, it has the border on the top, and the bottom, just as it would if the user did have a signature.

Now what I can do, is add a option to have default text in place of the users signature, if they don't have one.

That sound cool?

Another thing I was thinking of adding, is if you are showing the advert in the first and last post, add a option, to only show it in the last post if X replies have been made.

This is due to the fact, if a thread has only one reply, the add is showing in the only two posts there. So you can set it to 3 posts, or to 10 etc.

How's that sound?

That sounds great bro!

This is much easier than having to write long conditionals with arrays. I can't wait to use this!

I have some other ideas as well but not sure how much work you want to do on this.

## A template that looks like the default postbit/postbit_legacy optionn that would show the ad under instead of inside would be great. It would be a great option to even have the ad display under without the template but the template would be good.

Great as is too! Thanks Ozz!
