Problem:

For banner positions greater than 10 it does not work. Either the code don't even show at all when I try to put it in my blog OR the raw code shows in the page source but not the ad. Has the >10 mode been tested at all?

Have you changed the relative option in vbulletin options?

Yes I have. The input fields to place the ad changes when I made the adjustments, but when I put  in an ad spot, nothing appears. If I put , my header ads appear in that spot.

With the latest upgrade, the following text in the rbs configuration UI should be changed since the limit really does not apply - might be confusing for some otherwise.

The option for <> 10 locations is unsupported.

Thus it may be confusing, but most users will not try to go over the top 10 anyway. The option allows you, as a perfect insider, to override an inbuilt and suggested value with one you retain necessary no matter what, and since you know what you are doing, the help would not make any sense to you anyway :)

However, if you have a suggestion how to change the advice, I will happily include it into the documentation and user interface.

Ok, I see what probably happened. Having inserted the maximum count you haven't taken in account that the banner locations start from 0, and thus go from 0...(n-1). Since 10 locations are the default, they go from 0...9.

Here we go with testing. If I set 11 postions, I may cover location 10, since that would be perfectly legal. When I later fall back to 10, because I feel I have already enough positions, the side effects begin to show.

1. Set your max locations, e.g. 20: Attachment 130257
2. Setup your template: Attachment 130258
3. Setup a banner
3. Test: Attachment 130259

For me, it worked both for 10 and for 19, and of course with the other banner on top of the map, at position 1 :)

What does the star (*) mean next to a banner detail in the list of banners? I can't find the answer here or in the .PDF.

EDIT: I'm guessing it mean's expired, but it's still shows them in the "Enabled" list.

EDIT: I'm an idiot.

Did you do it in the CMS or blog area? Where it is failing for me is in the blog sidebar, but if I used the default ad manager for vB it comes through just fine.
