This is my first post to MyBB.
I'm completely new to MyBB, and in fact I haven't made a final decision on which forum software to use yet. The site is still being developed, and it will contain a forum component. What I need is one that will accommodate some advertising, especially banner ads placed in the header. Can MyBB do this?
Here are a couple of examples. One is a huge site, Texas Bowhunter. It gets about 1,000 posts per day. Notice the three ads at the top. These ads "rotate." That is, every time a page opens, it shows different ads. When you buy ad space, you can pay for your ad to appear every 2nd page view, every 3rd page view, etc. Obviously, ads that appear more often are more expensive.

Another one is Arboristsite.com. It's another big, busy site about trees, chainsaws, logging, etc. This may have TOO MANY banner ads for some people - 4 rows of them across the top! It looks pretty cluttered, but it's a good example.

My forum pages might include AdSense ads instead of banners, or maybe a mix of both.
Can I use header advertising in a MyBB site like this? I'd really be grateful for any feedback.
Thanks a heap.
