I do have a test site up with a separate database and vB install on it for testing prior to trying anything on my live forum.

You'll have to excuse my manner of asking follow up questions, when I can't get something to work I tend to ask questions in the form of clarification of what I am doing assuming I have made an error rather than saying 'that didn't work'. It seems more respectful of those trying to help.
The comment about roasting my vB install is mostly comedy however I did manage to do something to my test install when I first tried to make the ad banners work that killed it and required a wipe and reinstall.

So far I have not been able to get the random banners to display, all I have gotten is the header code displaying above the title.
I have placed the header code in various places within the header template and have placed the registration code at the very end of the plug in as above and tried it as the second line of the plug in.
All with the same results, I can only assume that I am missing a step somewhere.
