My Advertisements 2.0.3

Description
My Advertisements is the most powerful advertisements manager for MyBB as of now.

It allows administrators to create multiple zones and place the zone codes wherever they want in templates.

They can then assign multiple advertisements to each zone and they'll be randomly displayed to the users. You can also set which users cannot see each advertisement.

This advertisements manager logs views and clicks for each advertisement (clicks are logged via JavaScript so in case the user has JavaScript disabled, the click will not be logged) - this way there are no redirects which may not look good to your users.

By default, there are three zones:
* Header
* Footer
* Postbit

These cannot be deleted and are automatically added to the templates.

Thanks for new version, but there is a little bug.

Line 665 in plugin file:

PHP Code:

    $query = $db->simple_select('myadvertisements_zones', '*', 'zid!=3'); 


Why zone 3 is bypassed? This solution make visible zone 3 code for every usergroup, without placing ads code.

[Pirata Nervo]

zid is being by passed in that function because that function is not part of the postbit and it's useless to do the same for zone 3 twice

This is a great problem but has some bugs i think ?!

When i hide ads from admins they don't see any ads banner but they see this
{myadvertisements[zone_3]}

[Pirata Nervo]

That _should_ only happen in private messages and announcements. Will be fixed in the next version

I installed the plugin on my forum........activated it........ read the documentation........but still have no clue as to how to make the banners show up. I apologize for my lack of skill.
I had an ad rotator on there similar to this one.....but it went away with the upgrade to 1.6.
Here is the addy to the forum.
