adsense? - anyone use it with success on their forum?

recently got set up with adsense and it seems the theme is incompatible. unfortunately though it seems to be the best them for wpforo (as I think it is theirs).

I was wondering if anyone else uses adsense with success without breaking anything, uses it with customyfy successfully, or uses another theme that looks and feels the same yet shows the ads fine. If I have to drop adsense its not a huge deal as this is more an experiment (and learning project) to me. If I could use it though and learn a bit more it would be great.

Thanks
