It can be disabled in product options.

If swf is not linked itself this would add link to the small triangle beside banner.

Hi VALTER,
I read all 15 pages, and can't figure out where to upload my banners onto my server. What is the folder I should create to store the banners?

Very anxious to get this mod going.
Thank you for your help.

[Valter]

Upload banners just like you upload forum files.
It may be done using ftp client, cpanel's File Manager, etc.

Go to your forum root, create new folder, name it "vsa_banners". Put your images here.

Then go to Manage Banners page, add your banners to the list, set links, durations, dimensions, etc.

In Product Options set play mode, banner locations,...

- Add 'margin-top:-30px;' to a new CSS setting (you can set -30 to different value if needed)

Then:
- Add '{vb:raw vsa_flashimagebanners}' to the top of 'navbar' template
