Excellent. Hope you took onboard the HTML suggestion. I used a modified version of this hack when I upgraded to vB3 last weekend. I added some ALT text as a third additional field in the forum table.
I would, however like to replace it all with the HTML or preferably processed contents of a PHP file.
Example of a banner rotation script if anyone finds this useful:

PHP Code:

<?php
$banners = array (
    "avforums_avsales.gif|avforums_avsales.pl|Providing Audio and Visual equipment for over 15 years. Home cinema centre and on-line store.|0|468|60",
    "avforums_digitaldirect.gif|avforums_digitaldirect.pl|Save ?'s Off High St Prices|0|468|60",
    "avforums_discounttv.gif|avforums_discounttv.pl|Discount electrical uk - exclusive deals for av forums. Click here|0|468|60",
    "avforums_richer.gif|avforums_richer.pl|Richer Sounds, The UK's Biggest Hi-Fi Retailer|0|468|60"

);
$banner = $banners[mt_rand(0,sizeof($banners) - 1)];
list($imgsrc,$myurl,$alttext,$border,$width,$height) = explode ('|',$banner);
echo("<A HREF=\"http://www.avforums.com/cgi-bin/$myurl\" TARGET = \"_blank\"><IMG src=\"http://www.avforums.com/adverts/banners/$imgsrc?" . mt_rand(1,999) . "\" border=\"$border\" width=\"$width\" height = \"$height\" alt=\"$alttext\"></A>");

?>
