Yes, I'm using vBulletin, but I'm a little confused on how to use the source delivery option to retrieve the forumid info. I thought source looked at the URL of the current page.

Nono. Source can be anything. It's simply a parameter that phpAdsNew allows you to pass in. In this case, you'll want to make it your forumid. So in the ad tag for phpAdsNew, where it says source= make sure it says source=$forumid

Then, let's say a particular campaign just wants to run in forumid 4. When setting up the campaign, go to Limitations and set a limit to only display the ad when source == 4.

Ok Dani, sorry for being so dense but I think I'm getting it.

Banner Settings
On the Delivery Options tab I set Source is equal to and supply the integer representing the forum I want the ad to appear in.

Zone Settings > Invocation Code
Here in the "source" field I enter the text "$forumid" which in turn generates the following invocation code:
<script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript'>
 <!--
    if (!document.phpAds_used) document.phpAds_used = ',';
    phpAds_random = new String (Math.random()); phpAds_random = phpAds_random.substring(2,11);
    
    document.write ("<" + "script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='");
    document.write ("http://www.bigbluenetwork.com/a/adjs.php?n=" + phpAds_random);
    document.write ("&amp;what=zone:17&amp;source=%24forumid");
    document.write ("&amp;exclude=" + document.phpAds_used);
    if (document.referer)
 	  document.write ("&amp;referer=" + escape(document.referer));
    document.write ("'><" + "/script>");
 //-->
 </script><noscript><a href='http://www.bigbluenetwork.com/a/adclick.php?n=aae8f62b' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.bigbluenetwork.com/a/adview.php?what=zone:17&amp;source=%24forumid&amp;n=aae8f62b' border='0' alt=''></a></noscript>
 
Unfortunately, when I try this, I don't get ANY ads served (I don't have a chain setup either). I think I'm missing something here.

You have source=%24forumid

That's how phpAdsNew displays the code. Change that to source=$forumid as soon as you paste it where you want it.

Thank you so much Dani! That did the trick. I mistakenly assumed that the phpAdsNew generated invocation code would be correct. I guess the ? tripped it up.

%24 is the representation for $ when the $ character isn't accessible (I believe that's how it works). Regardless, the $forumid variable wasn't being populated where you wanted it to be.
