Can we have a Option to stop rotating automatically and only by Siderefresh?

[Valter]

Option may be added in next version.

[redlabour]

Great! :up:

I've changed template of my forum and now the option to add automatically the banner at the top right of the page doesn't work anymore. Any suggestion other than add the code manually?

[Valter]

Send me a header template content via PMs and I'll tel you what's missing.

great mod .. but how do i change the background color ??

[PME]

Ok I installed this fine add-on and it works great. Well everything went well with the first style. I created the banners and installed and it shows up on the right side of the header just like I expected.

Then I placed the code in the header for the other style and for some reason the banner shows up on the left side. I've tried everything to make it show on the right side of the table however......

Replace:

with:

<td class="headerL" width="100%">&nbsp;</td>

[PME]

I fixed the above problem with a rebuild of the table but now I get 2 of the same errors:

Error: 'document.cbgoto.id' is null or not an object

I would appreciate any help please this is the best banner add-on I've found and I want to use it.

I multiple instances of the add-on running some how. Where ever there was a

<td>&nbsp;</td>

it kept inserting the call for the banners. Anyway fixed.
