BOTH these have been tested to work seamlessly with the smfaqua theme. Will work in all themes with very little adaptations.

Hello please I am using smf 1.1.10 with the dibermic theme, I can't see to find any Display.template.php. Please could you help. Thank you

Display.template.php will be in either Themes/dilber/Display.template.php (or whatever the directory is called) or failing that it will be in Themes/default/Display.template.php.

You are not permitted by Google AdSense's TOS to have more than 3 link units in a page.
