Ok i have a small issue i hope someone can help me out on this. Iam running a style on my forum and i cannot locate

<a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a>

To edit. It dosnt seem to be in the header section of the template. The style iam using seems to be using 2 images (One on the left which i can click and one on the right that i cant)
Any advice?

Here's what i have found in my header on my style

<td><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="images/lily/lily_logo.gif" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" width="446" height="140" border="0" id="lily_logo" /></a></td>

and the other image is

</td>
<td class="headerR">&nbsp;</td>

Id like these to both rotate randomly with a selected few on refresh, is this possibly with this mod?

Can this be used to simply rotate the header/ logo in the default position as shown on my forum here-

Just tried this with 3.6.9 and it works just fine.

I've been installing, and all seems nearly good. I've installed into the header but am getting the "target blank" above the banner.. any ideas how i can sort this?
