Ad Mod Not Working

[Lay Low Invst]

i put up the ad mod but apparently its not functioning, as in the ads r not showing on ma forums page. the skyscraper wont work nor the diagonal.....any troubleshooter who can help will be appreciated

If you have a previous version you have to uninstall that before installing a new one, you also need to add the mod whilst in the default theme. You may then need to manually modify some of your theme's files.

so i did that and they showed up, does that mean i cannot display ads in modified themes like the lightening.....another thing, it shows more than two towers along side one another, what is that n how do i take care of it

You need to modify 4 files in the theme you want to use.

see this link for full instructions on how to modify your theme http://www.smfads.com/forums/index.php?PHPSESSID=45d515ceb2dbcb298e4be356b44bbb9e&topic=475.0

You can set what ad's are shown and where in the Ad management CP.

Going to that place doesnt help much coz it doesnt have the specifics of what i asked, if you have a link within ur site that goes there directly that would help, but just transferring me there to a webpage, i went through most of ur forums n i didnt get much of what i was looking for...if you got some specifics help me out
