Forum administrators commonly want to embed advertisements (like Google's adsense) into forum messages. This article should help you to get started.

Ads at top or bottom of page
Add the adcode to either header.tmpl or footer.tmpl. See procedure for changing the forum's header and footer at header and footer.
Ads after first post
To insert an ad after the first message in a topic, edit the drawmsg.tmpl template (only add the line starting with a +):
Index: drawmsg.tmpl

To add your adcode via the GUI, navigate to the Admin Control Panel -> Theme Manager:
- Select a template set and language (usually Default and English).
- Click on message_entry.
- Add the line starting with a + (above) to the bottom of the text box.
Ads inside message bodies
Edit the drawmsg.tmpl template and search for the message_entry section. Now add your banner code somewhere in the <td colspan="2" class="MsgR3"> block.
