How: Load Forums first. Ads / external scripts later

[6piston]

Hi all

It's pretty annoying that some advertisement servers load much slower than your own site.

Do anyone by any chance know of a good and simple way to make ads load last? or any other scripts that has to wait before loading vbulletin?

Thanks!

yes you can. place a javascript in the bottom of your page (in the footer template) and place a div around your ads location and give it an id (< div id="myads">ads go here</div>) and code your javascript so it calls the innerHtml of the div, so you can inject your code inside the div after the page loads. Sounds like a good idea to make it as a plugin i'll give it a try once vb4.0 rolls out.

Place the following HTML code instead of your ads position:

<div id="myads">
</div>

Place the following javascript in the footer template:

<script type=”text/javascript”>
document.getElementById(”myads”).innerHTML = "place your ads code here"
</script>

it is a simple addon, I will do a research on how legal is this according to adsense TOS and others, and will for sure release it as a small plugin.
