Hey everyone, it's been a while. I'm finally sitting down to revamp my BellaOnline forums a bit. I'm considering adding the ad insert between posts #1 and posts #2 which I haven't done in a past. Usually I just put ads in the header, sidebar, and footer of my forum.

To test it out, I created a custom island with my ad code. I then added that custom island only to the Low Carb forum, to see how it did. I used the standard 'custom island insert' option to do that.

Here's the forum area -

https://forums.bellaonline.com/ubbthreads.php/forums/221/1/low-carb

I'm not seeing any sign of the custom ad in between posts 1 and 2 of any area within low carb. Am I misunderstanding how it should work?

If you view source on a page and look for the word 'responsive' you should find the other 3 ads easily. There should be a fourth one now showing up between posts 1 and 2.

Thanks!

Its granular because you can setup "VIP" or any other group that has no ads (or an admin/mod group).

It'd take a database query to achieve a mass permission copy; while unsupported as it's accessing the database directly one would:

Set "Must View Ad Island" for ALL groups:
SQL Query
UPDATE `ubbt_FORUM_PERMISSIONS` SET `AD_ISLAND` = '1';

Set the Ad Island for EVERY forum to Island #1:
SQL Query
UPDATE `ubbt_FORUMS` SET `FORUM_ISLAND_INSERT` = '1';

Forum permissions are cached in the ubbt_CACHED_PERMISSIONS table, so rebuilding forum permissions or submitting an edit should push the changes out after a query is run manually.

I believe that the permissions are cached in the ubbt_CACHED_PERMISSIONS table, so rebuilding forum permissions or submitting an edit should push the changes out after a query change.
