I decided in the end to remove the in-thread ad altogether, since it probably would have made people less likely to be a guest on ATK.
Instead, I have just upped the cost of advertising above the footer :).

add more ad space then get more money, theres plenty of little gaps you can get adds :P
Indeed, add loads of ads and get everyone to use adblock.
True, but I don't want to put off the guests who visit the site. However, if we get a new site design one day there will be loads of locations for ads that don't get in the way but have the potential to get lots of cash :D.
who does web design again?

However, assuming we kept our current setup on our new site, we would simply need a new vBulletin style that I would get a professional coder and graphic designer to do for a few hundred quid. Of course, should that time ever arrive, there will be many discussions on ATK about what features we need etc.
