Hard to say from here, but at the end of the readme file is a troubleshooting section. Please check the items listed there, as that list contains everything that I could think of at the time as to why ads wouldn't show.

Question

I have uploaded 3 screenshots to show you what I mean, basically in the scripts section the pages table under the master table (link) has them ticked as default and when ticked they seem to appear on the default pages listed under the scripts table (not the ones i have added (faq and footer)). I need to make it appear on all pages.

I currently have in the template footer file: $GAB_ads[0] through to $GAB_ads[50]
so you would think that those would all show on every page since its in the footer but they don't, please see the links below. In the faq page they don't show but they do in the forum home, so i tried adding faq and footer to the scripts section in the admincp but it never helped.

I looked at the documentation you provided but it never helped unfortunately.

thanks.

The script name is found inside the vB PHP files. In the vB faq.php file is the following line of code near the top of the file:
Code:
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'faq');
The script name is taken from that line of code, and faq is the script name, not FAQ, i.e., case matters, so change it to lowercase.

Using footer doesn't make any sense because there is no vB PHP file with the following, i.e., footer.php is not a vB file, so delete it:
Code:
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'footer');
To show ads in the footer, add the $GAB_ads[X] variable(s) to the vB footer template, where X is a number.

After making the changes in post thirteen, the ads now show on the faq page, correct? If so, then you need to add more scripts like you did for the faq page, using the following as the value for the ID box:
Code:
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'whatever_is_here_goes_in_the_id_box');

In the end I just went through the ftp forum dir and just added every page to the script section and removed the .php extension which seemed to work.

For the most part the value for THIS_SCRIPT matches with the filename, so that'll work for many files, but on occasion they might be different, and not every file in the /forum directory, ajax.php for example, needs to be added to scripts.
