As a temporary solution until someone here comes up with the code for that, this would do it if an approximate weight that's still random would work for you. This is a very cumbersome and somewhat annoying way to do this, but it'll swap them out closer to what you want .. while you're waiting:

Just upload multiple copies of the same image you want shown more frequently and just a single copy of the headings.

1. Banner 1a
2. Banner 1b
3. Banner 1c
4. Banner 2
5. Banner 3
6. Banner 4
7. Banner 5a
8. Banner 5b
9. Banner 5c
10. Banner 6

Banner 1 will appear (approximately) 30% of the time. Banner 5 will be there 20% of the time. And the remaining 4 banners just 10%.

Thank you so much for the hack, andrefedalto! :bunny:
