Again, He cant remove the ads... I also run many PhpBB and PhpBB2
boards, and I know that from within phpbb admin, you can set up the
forum, change the permissions, change catagories, mod and admin access
but there is nowhere where you can edit the HTML on which the forum is
displayed..

The Ads are part of the phpBB styles, which you have the "upload" by
ftp and then "install" in phpbb admin in order to change....

He cannot do this as it is a FREE FORUM HOST... the only access he has
is phpbb admin.. NOTHING ELSE..

Your wrong, just admit it and go on with ur life...

NOTE: If he was hosting his own forum using phpbb and mysql databases
then YES he could change anything he wanted, he could upload any new
styles, or edit the templates himself, but as he doesnt have access to
the webspace itself, then he only has limited access to what he can do

Get rid of all the pop ups first
He cant, thats down to the forum provider.... Its a crappy free phpbb
site.
Which he can edit.

Not really...

He does have administrator access to PHPBB itself, but the popups are
either in the html or part of the template, which he cannot edit (no
ftp access)

The person running a phpBB can edit anything in the entire BB he wants
- I know, I run one - and I've edited it extensively.

The pop-ups are just a way for the host to make money, the users cannot
remove them....

Bull cookies. There's nothing in phpBB that can't be edited.
