In each forum for example 6 banners, with the same banner code, but one banner code for each forum id, because in forum Id=1 it will be 6 banners showing (and 15 banner possibilities for example in that banner code), but in forum id=2 it will be other 6 banners (of 12 possibilities for example, but different than the 15 previous ones, so i?ll nedd other banner code),... and all the same for the 50 forum ids.
apart of this i`ll need other
So I need for example 50 banner locations for the forums, and about 10 more locations (for photo gallery, news peage cms, downloads, ...). So i?ll like about 75 different locations if it?s possible, or the way to add myself the number of locations I want.
Any help or suggestion would be apreciated,
Thanks in advance,

Sorry, I missed this question :)
In the banner options, you may select for each banner where (forum section) to show up, thus you can use one and the same placeholder to fill all 50 or more forum sections without any collision problem.
You don't have to worry about banner id's either. If you have for "forum 1" about 20 banners, they will rotate, even though you may have only 1 placeholder on a page. Rotating is done randomly and is pretty much even on all instances of banners for that page.
If you have the same placeholder more times on a page, say under the navbar and above the footer, 2 different banners will be taken for those placeholders, with the same randomness and guarantee to be unique on that page. No banner is ever shown twice on the same page.
If you put together all the possible filters for a banner, besides timing, you get as many locations as you need, without using actually more than one or two of the 10 available locations / shapes / banner sizes / banner types or whatever you want to call them :). The software design makes it possible to reuse a single placeholder for many occasions.

Although it seems to be difficult to explain, it is easy to use. Just think about a glass. You may fill it with water, juice, beer or wine. You may also use sand, gasoline or bullets if you wish. Normally you would not mix one of the drinks, nor would you throw away the glass after using it. Depending of the occasion, you will probably reuse the same glass as often as possible with as many drinks you may think of. In you parties you'll have green and blue smoking cocktails with fuzzy glitter and funny taste, on company meetings you'll rather offer something more sobre, unless you need to surprise the other companies about your taste :)
