    I don't have a vB license anymore, but I believe this should be correct:

    Go to your Admin panel, look for the navbar template in your theme and add ads to the bottom of the code.

    Don't add them to the navbar, place the code in the 'Ad Location Template'.

    These are the locations you can use...

    ad_footer_end
    ad_footer_start
    ad_forumdisplay_afterthreads
    ad_forumhome_afterforums
    ad_header_end
    ad_header_logo
    ad_navbar_below
    ad_showthread_beforeqr
    ad_showthread_firstpost

    More information on them here...

    Open the FORUMHOME template and look for the following code:

    $navbar
    Code (markup):
    Place your ad code below this.

    You might want to do something like this...

    
    <div align="center">
    <!-- ad code -->
    </div>
    
    Code (markup):

    Isn't there an option in vbulliten that will allow you to add banners in? I thought there was? If not I know that editing the above files will work fine, its just a pain in the 'arse' to do it that way.

    If you want to place this code on all pages of the forum, place the ad code below the $navbar code in the FORUMHOME, FORUMDISPLAY and SHOWTHREAD templates.
