I'm having issues with the display location now. The "navbar" was the default template that was selected and if I used that the banner displayed twice, once is where my actual "titleimage/header" banner is and the other was under the navbar.

I tried renaming the location to several things such as, titleimage, ImagePaths (the templates in which titleimage is in), but nothing is working...

Again, this is up and working, but the location/template to make it show at the very top of the site is thrown off.

Any help?

For those having trouble with the drop-downs showing up behind the banner, this is a bug that got solved in 4.0.6..

Here's how to solve that:

http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-7380

Specifically:

ngiaopao added a comment - 06/Jul/10 01:23 PM
Applied fix specified by Andreas. And placed it in replacement-vbulletin-ie.css before the RTL specific fixes.

/* VBIV-7380 */
#navbar {
z-index: 2000;
}
/* end VBIV-7380 */

Go to:
AdminCP/Settings/Options/VSa Flash-Image Banner Rotator

Under the Display Locations:
Show banners on these pages:
(comma separated list of THIS_SCRIPT locations)
Leave blank to enable banners on all forum pages

Suddenly having some issues with the banners. They do not seem to want to show up on my forum. Running 4.0.6.

Disabled for now.
