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.

What is the current issue some people are having with VBSEO? Im just planning on installing it but maybe i do not need to wait for the fixes if I will not use the features of advertisement that cause the problem with vbseo.

Thanks

i am getting the following error on search threads

Warning: Division by zero in [path]/search.php(2942) : eval()'d code on line 31

note this only happens when i search for posts by a specific user and not in new posts searches.

Hows it going with the VBseo fix?

If you still need a forum access with it installed, let me know cause i just installed it.

Thanks

HHm, just installed and...no postbit/threadbit advertising? I used to the after first of last post option but I do not see it...

EDIT:

Ok, taking a more detailed look, it seems that Vb ad management 4 has been broken down into 2 different mods. (VB ad management 5 and forum ad management) also some featured like e-mail ads overlap on both version. Another great feature is now missing (Display advertisement after last post on a page). Why has this been separated into 2 mods?

Will I still be able to use the VBads 4 on 3.8.2? That version has all the features i need since I do not use adsharing. Also, I have purchased the brand free version for VBadm 5, will I be able to use the BF version on VBadm 4?

Please let me know since I can't get my forum going until I fix this problem.

Thanks
