Why don't you open the template you are using and edit the header so that it includes a banner, you could use phpAdsNew to create stats for the banners by getting the rotation code from phpAdsNew.

If you want further help please ask.

Hope that Helps

Open up header.php and inset your code there.

that file is included in all the pages of the forum, and your banners can be above the forum logo or under depending on where you put the code in that file.

if you want it at the bottom open up footer.php and place your code there.

Consider putting a vertical column on the left that has forum things and a skyscraper.
All of these are included in the phpbb.com boards.

Those are defenitely annoying. You shouldn't consider using them on your members, maybe just guests. And even for guests, only consider using it if you are a large established forum.

I'm assuming you're referring to the ads after the first post in every thread. If so, I agree 100%. I've come across several sites and never returned when I noticed the ads in the middle of threads.
