If you have Flash-Image Banner Rotator for 3.x installed:
- Save your Banners to .txt or .sql, to have it in case something goes wrong during upgrade
- This product will automatically save your old data to a new table (used by vB4 version)
- Remove old version after upgrade if everything works as expected

Please report any bugs you discover.
Mark as Installed, and/or nominate/rate if you like it.

NOTE: It would be good idea to set the same height for all banners to avoid page content jumping

Hi, I installed it but its not showing.
What is the template name of the area above footer, that the regular VB ads manager calls "above footer"
I tried "footer" (no quotes) and it didnt work

Installed but some of my images aren't showing up. I have 3 or 4 jpg's that don't show but a couple others work fine.

Http://buckeyestangs.com/vb is you want to see it live.

edit- Is there a size restriction? I noticed the ones that don't show are over 12KB.

I'm trying to move it to template, ad_header_logo. But it doesn't show unless I have "Add Banners automatically to forum header (top right)" selected. Any ideas?

Oh yes it is here
This was the mod where i was waiting for before i upgrade to VB4.

I belive what you are looking for is

ad_global_above_footer

however that template will not display if the ads manager built intoo vb is off
