This is for UBB.Threads 7.0 only, not UBB.Classic.

As for the ads, I don't know why they woudln't work "out of the box" on your ubb.classic install, on my site (see signature, UBB.Classic 6.7.2) I used to just have my google adsense in both my header and footer (see style options)

I am a Web Development Contractor, I do not work for UBBCentral. I have provided free User to User Support since the beginning of these support forums.
