Trying to follow the instructions in the Help Guides, but I must be doing something wrong. I've created an advertisement with this setting:

The "Internal Advertising" help guide states that the tag necessary would be {advertisement="KEY"}, making it {advertisement="TinkAd1"}. Correct?

The guide then has this to say about inserting Advertisements via Blocks:

In pages or blocks
The tag can be inserted in a page, block or template within the Pages application. Simply insert the tag wherever you want the advertisement to show.

When I go to create a new custom block, though, there are these options:

I must be doing something wrong, because I've tried all three of those options and inserted the key. Here's the HTML version:

The block option then shows up in the list:

I then go out to my Forums and open the editor to add the block. It shows the option here:

I select the TinkAd1, but the block just stays empty:

Is there another guide to doing this? Sorry for asking so many questions today!

 

You need to create an HTML block (not Editor; image #2) in order to use IPS template logic, and then add the code in the Content tab/textarea:

{advertisement="TinkAd1"}

 

As template key (image #3) instead use something like ad_block_tinkad1. Everything else can remain as is.
