I've had a lot of trouble getting Adsense scripts, banners and even text to format correctly in some of the ad location templates. A couple don't even seem to work at all, even in a forum with default templates, plugins turned off, etc.

If you have a variety of ad placements (Amazon, Google, Linkshare, Banners, etc) and have them looking nice, I'd appreciate a link to your live demo and any tips. Or, if someone knows a good mod that does this, that would be great. The built-in Adsense and Manage Ads utilities are too limited and the Manage Ads ones have some similar issues as content I put directly into the Ad Location templates manually.

I have a thread here http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...h-Ad-Locations and submitted a couple bug reports after going through support, but I was hoping to upgrade at the end of the year if I can get vB4 working as nicely as vB3.8. As is, I'm starting to think I have to stick with 3.8 or look for another platform if I want newer features and a live mods community and not lose significant revenue.

Thanks!

I am using Google's DFP ( http://www.google.com/dfp ) to serve the ads. Previously used OpenX but the database was filling up fast.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
