Default How do I make ads invisible to a particular usergroup?
Hello, and thank you very much for reading my question and trying to help me. Here is my situation:

My forum is free to register and browse, but I have ads on using phpAdsNew. I want to allow members to make a donation using PayPal, and then not see the ads. I have set up a user group called Premium Members. Now, how can I make just that usergroup, Premium Members, once they make a $9.99 donation or more, not see any ads?

Thank you again for trying to assist me. I hate not knowing how to do things.

You can surround the ads with a template conditional:

HTML Code:
<if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6)">//ADCODE</if>
In this example, users with the usergroupid of 6 won't see the ad.

Ok, new question. The name of the usergroup that does not see ads is called "Premium Members", and is user id 9. What I would like to know is, how can I have the usergroup change automatically whenever someone donates? Right now, I have to manually change it. I would like to happen as soon as they pay via PayPal. Any ideas?

You can set up a subscription, which will do exactly this.
The only problem will be that you'll have to predefine the amounts that can be donated.
