Ad Management mod 3.1 Released SMF 2.0.x and SMF 1.1.x Support!
iain sherriff:
I added this yesterday (2.0.2 with Crip's Anecdota) and it installed perfectly without fault :)
However When I added my banner script (from a commercail ad provider who I dont want to name as yet! ) my users started getting bombarded with spam links (not sure if you'd call them pop ups.......when you closed a page there was another left behind it) for gambling sites etc.
Now I assume these were left by the people placing Ads with my Ad provider..................is that right ?
In which case they are not checking on who they use.
Does anyone else get this problem ?
I have removed the Ad script (leaving Ad Management in place) and they have stopped.
thanks :o
(just had more feedback. some users on Chrome without java switched on didnt see the banners bu STILL got the gambling popups. I am right thinking that this must be from the Ad provider's script NOT from the people placing that Ads ?)

It looks like it would be a probably with the ad provider or your forum is infected with a virus.

thanks for the reply.
as they have stopped now I have removed the Ad script but left everything else as is does that show that it IS the provider ?

This installs fine other then the template files. I'm using "Core" with some mods installed and minor edits. The three template files fail mainly due to the "replace" codes. I don't have those in my files.
I've searched through this thread, and it looks like a lot of people have had issues with this with not much help other then told to compare files from the Core theme and Default theme. So I downloaded and installed WinMerge, I tried to add the code where I thought they'd be, which probably was "ok" but then the "replace" codes stumped me. When I tried to place them where I thought they went, it gave me an error.
I've attached the three template files in hopes that someone can help me. Doesn't seem like a huge edit and someone who knows what they are doing I would think could edit this very quickly. This is much much much appreciated. If I wasn't thousands of dollars in debut with medical bills I'd pay you for your help 8)
I have a live event going on on my forum on the 13th and this forum needs to be updated and live about a week before that to install and tweak things I can't on my computer. So please help if you can, I'm ready to tear my hair out! :-\
