If you have a Phpbb Subsilver Forum( even phpbb2.0 Plus), Here is a Method to add adsense as first reply to your Threads. You may change the color to subsilver for Better Results.

EDIT VIEWTOPIC.PHP

In viewtopic.php in the main phpBB directory, at around line 826, you'll find:

//
// Okay, let's do the loop, yeah come on baby let's do the loop
// and it goes like this ...
//Right under that is the statement that begins the looping through the posts:

for($i = 0; $i < $total_posts; $i++)
{Under that I added...

if ($i=="0") {
$adblock = $adblocktext;
} else {
$adblock = "";
}Up near the beginning of the file, I defined the new variable $adblocktext thusly:

$adblocktext = <<<EOM
<tr><td colspan=2 align=center>
Insert your Google AdSense Code Here
</td></tr>
<tr><td class="spaceRow" colspan="2" height="1"><img
src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif"
alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td>
</tr>
EOM;The table structure here is important. The first block puts in your Google AdSense code. The second block is a separator line.

Now, scroll down to the line 1170'ish range of the file and you'll find a block of variable declarations that begins with:

$template->assign_block_vars('postrow', array(
'ROW_COLOR' => '#' . $row_color,
'ROW_CLASS' => $row_class,In that block, on its own line, add:

'AD_BLOCK' => $adblock,Save that file.

EDIT VIEWTOPIC_BODY.TPL

Now go into the templates directory, and into the subdirectory of the template you are using (i.e. subSilver). Open the file viewtopic_body.tpl for editing.

Down around line 61, you'll find a line that says:

Right above it, add the following text...

{postrow.AD_BLOCK}Save the file, and you're done!

Now your forums will insert whatever you wish after the first post. And yes, you can insert Javascript. I tried the following...

$adblocktext = <<<EOM
<tr><td colspan=2 align=center>
Insert Google Code Here <P>
<script language=javascript>
document.write("hoobastank");
</script>
</td></tr>
<tr><td class="spaceRow" colspan="2" height="1"><img
src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1"
height="1" /></td>
</tr>
EOM;

and it worked just fine.
