Uploaded Ad Management 1.0.8 folder to public_html/forum/ad management
used domainname.co.uk/forum/ad management/install.xml
Modified the pages as requested:
forum/includes/functions.php
forum/styles/prosilver/template/overall_footer.html
forum/styles/prosilver/template/overall_header.html
forum/styles/prosilver/template/viewtopic_body.html

Uploaded above files to appropriate folders.
moved the contents of root folder to public_html/forum/
created a banner folder for the images in public_html
added an advert in the ACP checked the Ad Enabled

Made sure the code is correct for the ad to be listed and image found
<A href="http://www.arboleaspropertyshop.com//">
<img src="http://www.arboleas.co.uk/banners/aps.gif" border=0></a>

Still no joy.

Helllppppp Please. this is doing my head in for what should be an easy task :( :(
1.You are not supposed to Upload Admanagement folder to your server.
only the files in Ad management1.0.8/root/.
2.You have to add the ads in the Advertisement Management Module in the Administration Control Panel.

3.Your ad code seems to be not right.

Thanks for that. Followed your instructions.

I am really sorry about all of this. I am not that dumb I promise you :)

Copied all files in the root folder to public_html/forum/

Edited the files and uploaded them

Just a thought but the board is phpbb 3.0.1
NOT 3.0.4 Would this be the cause?

I am sure this is the same code that was used on the forum before.

<A href="http://www.arboleaspropertyshop.com/">
<img src="http://www.arboleas.co.uk/banners/aps.gif" border=0></a>

added the advert again but not being displayed. But the counter is saying that it has been viewed. SInce I took the screen print the counter has gone to 763
