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:
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.
