Weird bug: I have this add-on installed in 4.03 currently (but have been using it since 3.8x through 4.01 and 4.02).

I have the banners inserted in some custom places but in order to minimize template reverts and editing where possible I use the vBulletin ACP | Advertising settings and insert the <!--@vbbanners:0@--> or <!--@vbbanners:1@--> codes there.

The only bug I've found is a persistent though internittent one: Using the Below Navbar location in combination with <!--@vbbanners:1@--> defined as a leaderboard size (wide) banner (rotating between AdSense and some affiliate banners), most of the time it works fine. Very now and then, though, it will stop displaying banners at that location (other locations continue to work). To fix it, I need to go back into that location in the ACP, click on Edit, and then Save without making any changes.

I'm really not 100% certain whether this is an issue with this add-on or a vBulletin 4.x issue. However, for a while, I disabled the add-on and hard-coded the ads in that location (i.e., no rotation) and the problem did not occur under those conditions.
