I'm using version 7.7.1.
I have seen where some forums embed an ad in the flow of a thread. For example, I have seen them show an ad just below the starting post in a thread.
Does UBBT have this feature?'
I have been searching the control panel/docs and cannot find a mention of it.
Thanks in advance.

When editing a forum in the Control Panel under the "Custom Inserts" tab there is one stock option called "Custom Island Insert", this island takes a specified "Custom Island" and uses it to display an advertisement (or other important data). There are some unsupported code modifications to reuse this data multiple times in a thread (such as on here)

Thanks for the info. I am using custom islands now and they are working well. I just ran into an issue with Google AdSense that requires different ad placement, which is weird, but I'm looking for a solution... or another ad service. It's always something

If you open templates/default/post_side.tpl and post_top.tpl it will show this at the end: {if $smarty.section.post.iteration == 1 && $post_layout != "gallery"}{$island_insert}{/if}Simply append additional lines {if $smarty.section.post.iteration == 7 && $post_layout != "gallery"}{$island_insert}{/if}$smarty.section.post.iteration being the post id of how many posts you allow per page.

Thanks! Does the number 7 in the additional code mean it will include after 7 posts or after the 7th post? Will it work the same as the Forum Default in that logged in users won't see it but others will? Thanks for your time.  smile

I think it's after the 7th item (post) is processed as the original is a 1 and displays after the first post

Just noticed Firefox seems to block the ads between posts. Have you noticed that?

Nothing installed. The Adsense header, footer and sidebar ads show in Firefox, but not the ads between posts. >> Favorite foodsThey show fine in Chrome and Explorer/Edge (whatever it is).

It's just seems weird that it only blocks those ads and not the others
