I can't believe I actually can answer a question. I know this answer because I had the same problem. You need to go to the setting of Banner rotators and then in the setting for type of extensions allowed you need to add image/jpeg to the list.

make sure you use the separators they request. it looks like a "l" but not.

I hope that helps!!

[mongothetrucker]

it is on the list already.

[mongothetrucker]

it seems like it's not understanding the file. I try to add a jpg and it says this

The selected file type is not allowed. image/pjpeg

wtf is a pjpeg?

I try to add a PNG and it says this

The selected file type is not allowed. image/x-png

[mongothetrucker]

fixed.

Finally... Easy to install, rotates banners and can assign to each category, simple interface. The rest of the banner mods could learn something from this one.

Installed in vBulletin 3.7.4 PL1 with no issues. The only problem I had was the error: "There was an error while moving your file". Just had to create the brotator subfolder under the vbulletin images folder (images/brotator).

One small note, I noticed that the Vbulletin Logo at the top of my screen is gone now. Is there anyway to have the logo and banner?

How come it isn't working with IE?
