is there no way to make it
not static?
a coder might explain it better, but how about this way?
in vbulletin options you can give a default banner.
if you leave this blank, the forum displays the specific thread banner
like:
PHP Code:
<if condition="$foruminfo['bannerdefault'] ... //vbulletin options for default
<else />
<if condition="$foruminfo['banner']... // forum options
</if
</if
don't laugh - i'm a noob in php
