In-grid spaces #19

One function I didn't see in discuss is the ability to insert ads or pics or what have you into the grid in various places.

A lot of forums have automated adverts which insert themselves in real time in the thread, and I guess this solves that problem. So at the thread level its pretty much handled, and at the post level its not really a problem, just make a random function at the bottom of post view to show some contents all the time or every other time or whatever.

For grid level though, its different I think, perhaps more difficult. There is some sort of chunk that replicates itself for how many lines of contents exist, how would you easily get another function into the middle of that. Well, i guess it isn't all that hard perhaps.

And now that I am thinking wow, I would love to be able to separate my grid into two segments, or even three...maybe just with ads in the middle, but maybe positioned differently, offset if you will...it would be cool to be able to do.
