Is there a way I can use a simple code to place banners anywhere I want instead of fixed positions? ie- something like $bannerhere ... that way I can sort of mix them up using the same code in between posts, in the header, and even use the sig mod to add them to some usergroups' sigs.

For instance, I see:

$showsponsorforumbit
$showthisad

Is $showthisad just the universal code for the banner bank? I won't be using forum sponsors, forum-specific banners, etc etc. Just a banner bank with maybe a rotation of 8-10 banners. Is $showthisad the only one I need to add to the header, postbit, sigs, etc etc? thanks :)

you can ust the "$showthisad2" anywhere (in theory)

thanks :) $showthisad2 with a 2 at the end as opposed to the $showthisad one?

yep the same string as you put in the header

thnx a million

i found this. Mabye it has something to do with my randomization problem.


http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Mathematical_functions.html
"As of MySQL 3.23.52, MySQL changed the way
RAND() functions, such that you MUST supply a
SEED to get an actual random number. If you do
not, each new connection will return close to the
same number as the previous new connection. An
example to test this would be to run the follow
command multiple times in a row. mysql -u
username -p -e'select rand()' A basic way to seed
this would be to run RAND(NOW())."

... maybe that's why !?

i tried it manually with rand(now()) and it always returns ad # 11 .. so
that's no good either

anyone?

It was my mysql version.
