I did try the default banners and got nothing there either. I also treid with that check box on and off. As for inserting a placeholder in the templates I saw a reference made to that but nothing in the Installation Instructions on altering the template. Sorry I'm coming from the phpBB world which was drastically different obviously. This is what I followed:

Installing the Rotating Banner System software is simple. First, upload all files and folders you find in the upload folder to your forum home (where you find the index.php file of your forum).




Then login to your vBulletin board, and install a new product. Browse for the product's XML file (product-rbs.xml), and select the overwrite radio button, if you make an upgrade or want to replace an existing installation.




After clicking on the Import button one new table is created: [prefix]rbs_banners. Also a few default banners will be inserted. These records can be deleted or overwritten. If you leave them inserted and enabled, our advertising will be shown to your forum users, and we receive a little fee for each click your users make. It is a simple way to passively contribute to keep this software constantly updated.




Please note that the lang-it-rbs.xml file is intended to use only on boards where the Italian language is installed and used as default.
Did I miss a step somewhere else in the chm?

If you need to show a banner let's say at 2:1 weight, insert the first banner twice, and voil? ... ;)

First you need to get the default banners run. For example, insert in one template e.g at the bottom of the navbar, a placeholder
HTML Code:

<!--@vbbanners:0@-->
until the banner shows up. Once it is shown, you can try other options and templates. Once you are confident how it works, all the rest will be glass-clear :)

That's what I was missing. Banners are up and rotating. Thanks!

Yes, that's what I did from the start. Works great. :)

I haven't installed this yet, just read all of the posts, sounds great and something that will solve my problems on my Forum. So I'm on the way to install.

I also have a HTML site, is there an easy way to add this to the pages of a HTML site? autocareforum.com

Thanks, for all of your work and obvious patience with us VB challenged souls.

There is no easy way to install this on a simple HTML page. You may try to include a specifically created php script via IFRAME, though.

Ok, I am a noobie, and I think that I installed it as per instructions, and I do have a sample/default banner at the bottom of my page/forum. What I can't seem to find is where to add more banners. I am the admin as well as the janitor.

Where exactly do I find that last screen shot.

Thanks
