No problem!
Here is how it is configured:
This is the bottom of the "Welcome" category container:
This is the bottom of the "Board Information" Forum (within "Welcome"):
If I un-check the 'page criteria' check-box, the 'Hello World' shows up everywhere (as expected). The problem is that in some of the forums, I cannot place Google Ads because they object to the content.
So, what I am trying to accomplish is to create this ad block, put google ads in it, and only show it on the forums that it is allowed to show in.

I tried that with no luck. I also tried just selecting one node, and that didn't work either.

Yes - but only when the 'page criteria' is selected.

Hmm...
Is there any logs I can look through / give you? The native 'noticies' feature works just fine when I enable it per-forum.

When you say not in forum display what do you mean? It won't show up on the forum index if it is set only to certain nodes... can't change this right now as it is a XenForo limitation in using the XenForo criteria system. A future version will either extend it or use my own system to make this much easier and better. For now you will have to make 2 ads each time.. one for the nodes it is allowed on and one for each forum tab selected I guess :/
And the ones that don't work at all I have no idea about... this add-on is a pain to get to work because of various limitations.
I can't put time to fixing all this right now. I want to but I have pushed back the gallery far too much. What I will do is get the gallery into private betas and sort it out with the rewards from the crowd fund and once I have something for them to play with and give feedback on I will come back to this and get a big proper release out reworking the criteria system and hopefully get the new position system in.
However that said, I could make an additional small add-on which I will make disable the whole Ad Manager add-on when in certain nodes if you want? Just a simple option along the lines of node IDs separated by commas and I will insert little workarounds before the ad stuff loads as a temporary solution?

Correct - when I view the list of threads (and have the 'page criteria' options set to specific categories & forums), it does not show.
I undersand completely! One thing I had done was tried to put an 'if' statement and enable the ad block globally. That didn't seem to work though. The statement I was attempting was along the lines of:
Code:
<xen:if is="!in_array({$forumId}, array(23,29,32,40,49))">Similar threads
