Mine behaves the same way, I set a start time and end time and it will automatically increment to a later time as you save a setting.

If I set it to end at 0200 and click save, when I look at it again it shows 0400, if I change nothing and hit save it shows 0600.

We have discussed this problem several times, and essentially there is a timing difference between the local time of the web server and the MySQL server. Since MySQL runs as root and Apache not always, there may be time zone differences. Best of all is to make sure that these differences do not exist, alternatively adjust the time zone of the web server in order to match the system time. Also, your system should not change time due to DST, but at most the time zone for their user accounts. And, of course, you should use NTP to sync date and time frequently.

In any case, this information is only for system administrators and it is really, "really" the last time I will ever mention it :)

So what does that mean, this product will not work in photopost? Or is there a way to make it work we must have banners in that section

I agree, getting this to work in Photopost would be great, is there a way, or are there plans for this?

Y2ksw, thank you for the explanation, I did search but did not realize that was applicable to the problem. I am not too computer savvy as far as servers and timing go, so once again thanks for taking the time to explain it.

What you explain makes sense to me as far as their being a difference, but it befuddles me as to how this would cause the time to continuously change each time I viewed it, each time increasing 2 hrs, I have other plugins that use timing and seem not to be affected, but I know your busy so no need to elaborate on that one I shall continue to live in ignorance of such...lol

thanks
tim

If somebody would have success and share their experience ...

But unless then, the banners will not work in photopost, because photopost does not use the standard final page rendering.

There is no plan to make it work for photopost. I am sorry, but I'm personally against hacking into software just because somebody hasen't used standard procedures as reccomended.

Does anyone know which template and where to add of I wanted the banner to show up on left or right side of my forums ?

You may create a sidebar block for a banner.

If you however want to add a free space inside the page area, you must change a lot of pages, and maybe the everywhere sidebar is a better solution.

You may also try to add a background image via CSS, but I doubt it would work with this product, both because styles may be cached locally by your browser and maybe the templates are not passing through the last rendering process, because cached by vBulletin itself.

Yes I want to add the banner on as a side bar and not sure how to do this, I cant use the everywhere sidebar hack because that is for vb 4.x series and we are using vb 3.8 series
