Putting the code in the description works well for us right the way from vbull 3 upto 4.6

Did you use the correct format

This is how we set them out!

So just replace the info with yours and it should be good to go~!

Flash banner. Not a regular, static banner.

The solution was to use an iframe.

Sorry my bad!
But you do know the risks when using Iframes mate????
Not the best thing to have on your site by all accounts to be honest.

What risks? There are no security issues to speak of and the only issue i see is a browser that doesn't support iframes.

Ok mate just trying to help you!
But im sure when someone comes along and injects the iframe you will see why not many ppl use them anymore!
Also i think most Heavy Vbull users would pretty much say the same thing!
Iframes are considered bad practice nowadays, for several reasons:

1. bad for ranking in search engines
2. difficult to bookmark and navigate
3. not included in the latest XHTML 1.0 strict doc type - thus, probably going to be less and less supported

Thanks for the info. It's a banner. Nothing to rank or get included into search engines.
