Thanks.  I installed it and created a new add and copy/paste my AdSense code but it doesn't show up.  Any idea why?  Here's the forum:  http://forum.ttg911.com/ [nofollow]

Did you give permissions to guest and members?
Did you edit files to your theme?  If you change to english default and it works it is because you need to edit files to your theme.

I have a custom theme that I've been using from the start and haven't modified it recently.  The forum should be open to everyone. 

I noticed that it shows up on the posts now but not the main boards, etc...  and it ALWAYS seems to be a public service announcement!

Sorry did not understand...

Did you give permission to users?  Check all your guest and membergroups permissions tab.
Did you mark in Ad Management tab where do you want to show ads?
Did you installed the Ad Management to your SMF version?  There are 2.
Did you check if the code was updated in your theme?
Parse bellow:

Did you give permission to users?  Check all your guest and membergroups permissions tab.
** I went to Permissions and made sure everyone had "Enable ads" checked.

Did you mark in Ad Management tab where do you want to show ads?
** In Ad Management I kept the "boards" option blank so it would show up everywhere.  I checked all the "display boxes too."

Did you installed the Ad Management to your SMF version?  There are 2.
** I installed the Ad Management 2.3 package.  Is this enough?

Did you check if the code was updated in your theme?
** Isn't installing the package enough?  If not, where do I copy/paste this code into?

Thanks!

Mods are installed only in the Default theme and English non utf-8 language.
If you use another theme (your case) or another language you will need to edit your theme's files every time you want to install a mod.
So go to the mod download page and check parse option to your SMF version.  Then edit your theme's files according to default's theme that is shown in parse.
You need an editor (Notepad ++ for example) and do not forget to keep backup files before any changes!

Works for me too... Maybe you have an ad-block on?

robertnzana Is this issue solved or do you still require assistance?  I clicked on the last link you posted and there was an ad that seemed to work fine.  If this is solved, feel free to mark it as solved by clicking the Mark Topic Solved link at the bottom of the page under the linktree.

Sometimes, it can take some time for the ads to appear, until the appear From Google, all you will see is the Empty box where the ads will be.
It's usualy not long, but I've seen it take a hour or two to finaly come on from Google.
