Hi

I have tried many different ways.. here is one example of using HTML with images from an external site -

<center><a href="http://www.afas.org/"><img src="http://imgur.com/osde8.jpg" /></a></CENTER>

It's not a case of what have I not done, it's more a case of what I haven't.

I'm focusing on this side of the problem, but I have tried them all (my site caches fine BTW)

In order to catch all possible errors, please make sure, your placeholder in the options looks
like <!--@vbbanners:%d@--> or like @vbbanners:%d@ (if you have vbSEO or other software
which cleans HTML). It may have any other combination of characters, as long as a %d
appears inside. %d is replaced with numbers between 0 and 9 at runtime.

vbSEO or HTML cleaning software users:
vBulletin Options - Rotating Banner System Options - Nth Placeholder: @vbbanners:%d@

All other users:
vBulletin Options - Rotating Banner System Options - Nth Placeholder: <!--@vbbanners:%d@-->

(2)
Now put a:
vbSEO or HTML cleaning software users:
<div align="center">@vbbanners:0@</div>
<div align="center">@vbbanners:1@</div>

All other users:
<div align="center"><!--@vbbanners:0@--></div>
<div align="center"><!--@vbbanners:1@--></div>
in the template: ad_navbar_below


(3)
and enable the default banners, moving the second banner to position 1. Both banners should
appear, one below the other.

On a standard installation, this combination of settings works 100% guaranteed on 4.x. I
have set it up once again from scratch just to be sure. If it doesn't work for you, I'll install a
test board with these settings on, in order to demonstrate the facts.

Possible issues:

- You are using a style which does not implement ad_navbar_below, or which comments out
that template. In this case, no banner appears.

- Your system caches pages (e.g. Apache mod_cache). Unless you refresh the page
explicitly, the banners don't seem to rotate or won't even appear. 24 / 25

- Your vBulletin Options - Rotating Banner System Options - Nth Placeholder is setup like:
<!--@vbbanners:0@--> or @vbbanners:0@. In this case, only banners at location 0 appear.
You should have set: <!--@vbbanners:%d@--> or @vbbanners:%d@ instead.
