I have tried to search and not found an answer.

On my earlier version of vbull I was able to run multiple banners in the header with html code and each time the page refreshed a different banner would appear.

I have not been able to find out how I can do this in VB4.

Is there a way?

I am unaware of a banner rotator modification that has been certified to work with vb4 yet.

So I assume with the standard advertising package thats in VB4 you are expected to be able to only use one banner in one position then?

Incorrect. The vb4 system displays all your banners at once. How they are displayed probably has to do with CSS or something.

It will work for me until a good rotator is ported to vb4.

So your saying it just stacks the ads on top of eachother?

I have like 16 odd banners on my old site at the header and footer.

Well, it's nice to be popular. I only had two paying sponsors right now and I padded that out with Google for a third.

I looked into OpenX (http://openx.org/) today and got it mostly figured out. Once you add the Advertiser, create the ad campaign, then link all banners to the location, the program gives you the code to copy and paste in the Ad box in the Admin Control Panel.

I just don't like the ad placement. I want to move it to the far right. Hopefully, someone can tell me where to look.

Thanks

I'm a real dummy when it comes to HTML, but I know you can [center], so isn't there a [right justify] command? http://www.echoecho.com/htmltext06.htm

In the Admin Panel, in the Advertising Tab, I add new Add. All the ads stack on top of each other. They will not rotate out. I am not using OpenX, just the default Advertising Function in the Admin Panel. I am waiting for a fix on this as well.

At "as little as $999 a month" I doubt too many will be interested in OpenX. I thought I read that my old Rotating Banner System (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=188328) works with vb4.0, but it hasn't been certified yet. And the last poster says it's not working in 4.0.1 for him. Might be worth a try. The coder is always online so maybe he can be convinced to update it.

You were looking at OpenX Enterprise for $999.

OpenX Community, is the free version.

I just wrapped the ad code in the DIV tag.
<DIV align="right"> </DIV>
