Well, I KNOW alot of you are looking for this as I was so here it is......

Also, found this on vBulletin.com, so ALL credit goes to "express" for this one. :) (I just modified it a little)

Go to AdminCP > Styles and Templates> Style Manager > YOUR TEMPLATE > header

In that, find.....

<td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>

Under that, add.....

banner[number++] = "<a href='REDIRECT URL' target='_blank'><img src='BANNER IMAGE' border='1'></a>"

// keep adding items here...

increment = Math.floor(Math.random() * number);

document.write(banner[increment]);

Save and you're done

Sorry, this is probably supposed to go in template modifications if someone can move it please.

You are very welcome. You can't imagine how happy I was when I found this after searching for something like this for 6 weeks

Makes it a little easier to find for people such as myself without the time to search all over the place looking for something.

I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade :( but this image rotator requries javascript to be enabled in the user's browser. The hack below does exactly the same thing but does not.

I like the stylistic idea though, I did exactly the same thing on my own forum and removed the bbtitle to make way for the banner. Looks very cool :D

This one allows you to make the Picture a link. I don't see where the one you pointed out does that.

This is not working for me for some reason. Nothing shows up. Where exactly do you edit the url and the image path at?

Replace redirect url with URL you want the banner to go to when you click it and Banner image with the URL of your banner. Make sure you leave the quotation marks there though, just replacing the REDIRECT URL and BANNER IMAGE.

Try putting <center> before the <script......
That should do it.

Excellent script here - just what i was looking for :D
