The ability to select multiple positions for the same banner. This would make it easier for webmasters to track if the same banner performs better in one position versus another.

I know you could just create another banner with the same code and select a separate position, but that would completely defeat the purpose of setting max impressions and max clicks for a given banner.
I believe that with the upcoming version 5 of vBulletin it will be unavoidabile to move the whole thing to a new level ... mainly because there will be no hook at all to intercept the final page output. At that point, all possibile and immaginable associations could be realized, because printing a banner would not request any efford to your servers, but to ours (:erm.

In other words, we will have to create a new, fully driven advertising system which then will serve the banners you wish to see on your site, as external input. Once the system is up and running for a while, we may release the whole thing to the public domain. The problem however is the relatively high demand of development hours to achieve this, and most of all, how to convince everybody to use it, when there are other systems. I really don't want to make concurrence to anybody else out there ... i have already enough fighting just as is
