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.

Brilliant, cheers for that mate. Just one more thing, when you view a thread it's all centred, how can I make it so its the same as the default, see below.
I would like to link jpgs, gifs, pngs, etc submitted to me for ads but am unsure how to do this. Can I simply create a url link from an image in a folder on my server to the ad management system? ie, simply paste the following into static or random section of ad system: www.blahbla/images/ads/blah.jpg
How would I create the hyperlink to the advertisers site? What sizes should the ads be, and where can I find information on the required coding etc?
I managed to get one button to work (a weather information link) on my site, but that code was supplied by the weather network.
The system installed easily and seems to work great on my board. Now I just need to learn how to use it.
Do I need to do something to run the global_start? I assume it runs only at boot time.
Sorry, don't follow you? You don't need to worry about anything like that, just the AdminCP settings. global_start just means run on every page load.

Yes, that's right. You must use HTML, any will work. I can't help you out with that too much there's a lot of different code you can use, but for a basic image/link combination it will look like this:
That's for a random rotation, note the comma which goes between every section of code and that there is NO comma with the last one. You can read up more about HTML here: http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp
