I was just looking up some forum hosts... and I found that one and it said that it is free and ad free.  But I don't know what you're looking for but it looks nice.  

Yeah, that's SMF.  We can do that on our own server (once we find a reliable one..) but we'll have to start over no matter what.

Our trial period for the ads being between posts will end on April 16th.

Well, it appears that PB doesn't give a damn about the clients...

lol yep, so much for that

I believe Proboards Support said that you have to switch it off in the Admin after that date, which would be now.  If we're going to move the forums for some reason, fine.  But this paritcular issue should be easily fixable (unless they are not offering this option at this stage for some reason).

but why would they even put ads in if people could switch them off? Maybe they were referring to the ad-free feature? lol I can't find the thing to switch them off if there is one..

They put them in at first for the trial run, and now it supposedly should have been disabled so the run is not in a mandatory effect.  On proboards it says got to the Admin functions area to General Settings, and it should be there.  If not, I'm of no help.

oh hey you're right  :D  :D
it says you can choose the placement - at the top or in between posts..
I'm guessing that everyone would like it at the top?

Yeah, definitely.  I see it's already made the move up there.   Well at least we got the ad thing settled.
