What does this hack do ?

This mod simply lets you put your desired ads or any other codes just in the middle of first post , in each page of a thread .
you can see a live demo here (http://www.yankforum.com/celebrity-gossip/125-halle-berry-beverly-hills-beautification.html)

Known Issues :

you shouldn't edit your first post , that causes real problems , and you lose all the contents of first post. (this is solved in version 1.1)
sometimes it's not exactly in the middle of posts , that's because in logic sometimes there is no real half point , while some posts have even number of lines and some posts have odd number of lines . but it tries to put it to the nearest location to the mid point! http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif


Try not to mention following things :
if you think it's against google TOS then don't install it http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif but keep in mind you can also use it with other network ads , and keep in mind at no point google directly mentioned it's against their TOS to put adsense in between content , so do not insist http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Installation :

Just Import the Prodcut and configure settings in admincp ( no template edits needed )
