PLEASE click INSTALL if you like this hack

[Gimmick]

I am having trouble getting this working, it is me not the mod.

I have imported the xml and can see the mod has been installed. Ive added this $insert_cybfibr

But cannot see how to upload my 1 banner etc... total n00b i know, any help please?

[yotsume]

Can this mod be used to replace my site's header image and place a banner that rotates in place of the header image instead? I need a mod that rotates the header with images or flash...

[yotsume]

I have installed this and use it to replace my header image with a flash banner. How can I now get the header to be clickable so it points to my homepage when clicked on? Is that possible? Image banners are clickable but the flash isnt?

Also it seems the default flash background is set to black. Where can I edit so I can change that to match my site please?

I had just released a random banner rotation mod. However, after finding this mod mine is useless! LOL

[Valter]

Flash banner authors should make them clickable.

Or set option #9 to 'Yes' in hack settings.

[MoviePropCollec]

I downloaded this, but I don't see manage banner in my control center, but it shows in my vbulletin control panel home.

Where is the program?

[MoviePropCollec]

Ok I see it now.

Only thing is, when I enter a url say from photobucket, I only see the blank rectangle and it is clickable, but no pic INSIDE of it.

Also, what if I just want a still jgp of a pic from my pc? I can't do that?

[MoviePropCollec]

Anyone?

[glass fanatic]

I just intsalled the program but not sure how to implement it to be used on the left side for ad banners (vertical)
Can you help out? I'm fairly new to this
Thanks
Irene

Ok I'll just redo my flash banner on my end. The arrow method is useless for me and does not make the entire banner a hyper link.

Does anyone actually address our quesitons, lol, or are there just more questions?
