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 have this mod installed and everything seems to work but I have a problem. With this enabled whenever you move your mouse over a thread the "hover" will not work. This is where you hover your pointer of a thread and it shows your a preview of the thread. I have 2 banners and a google adsense rotating in the navbar. It's frustrating because I've made small changes in the img code like removing code to make it open in a new window and each time I made a small change it would begin working again but would stop after a few hours. Finally I concluded that no matter what I do it will start working again. Literally if I go into my ACP and go to the "Header and Navbar" settings and just click save without changing anything it will begin working again for a few hours and stop again. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm having an issue with vbportal too. Board is working fine, but I am getting a blank vb portal page. Someone working with me on the blank vb portal page issue just installed vB Ad Management to his site, and now he has a blank vb portal page also. My other board is setup the sdame, but without the vB Ad Management, and it is working fine. Are there any known issues or code changes necessary in any of the templates, etc. to get vB Ad Management to work with VB Portal?
Does anyone know if RedTyger still monitors this forum, as some time ago, I posted a problem to it and he asked me to PM him an admin logon/password, so he could have a look, and I've heard nothing since. I also see he hasn't posted anything for a while now.
Unfortunately, the problem hasn't gone away on its own, and in fact we've just been contacted by our web host and have been told that we're using up excessive amounts of server resources, and the problem is linked to "Apache (httpd)", which I'm pretty sure is related to vB Ad Management.
Can anyone help? At worse, can anyone help me un-install vB Ad Management to keep our web host off my back?
@xcesiv - search for the Phrase and remove the Text. There is no ACP Option to stop it for Usergroups.
I have read through about how to remove the 'remove advertisements' link, however i don't know what phrase i'm searching for, could someone give me more indepth details.
I don't think providing the same answer everytime it's asked for is productive. We are supposed to be forum operators, which would mean we know how to operate a forum - including using the basic Search function of a thread. Seeing the same questions asked over and over shows me that many of the forum owners here don't. I've got no sympathy for them.

You have the answer in your question. Search in phrases for "remove advertisements".
