Unfortunately, In the new version still several bugs that required to be fixed:

I have VB 3.8.2 and here is what happens.

1. When you save banner settings. Expire date and time jumps forward 20 hours or so. That means you cannot set accurate banner expire date and time.

2. When all required settings for flash banner are enabled, embedded link that included within swf banner code does not work. meaning visitors cannot get to advertisers websites by clicking on banner.
1. I can't and I won't fix problems with board and/or server settings. If your time jumps, your DST setting or your server date/time settings, or both, are not setup properly. I can remember I have had similar problems in the past until I worked out how to correctly setup the board date/time features and DST, and of course, syncronized the server time with NTP to a reliable time server (e.g. pool.ntp.org). A lot of servers on the web aren't syncronized and run out of any plausible time space over their life time, but you can require from your hosting provider to keep the time within a certain range.
2. The Flash wrapper works as designed. It was designed to override internal flash links in order to allow click tracking and overriding erroneous, missing or tampered embedded links. Thus, you will have to specify also a landing page (URL), else it will not go anywhere. If you want to use your banner as-is, you don't need the wrapper. In this case, paste the banner code into the Text field and leave all other fields empty (unmodified). As easy as that. However click tracking would not work, unless the embedded link calls the script rbs_banner.php?id=N, where N is the ID of the banner you wish to track. In this case, you will have to setup a landing page, too.
