issue.. when the administrators group is on the list of the groups who don't have to see the banners, admins cannot change anything because of the securitytokkens

[Firestar.chkn]

I'm getting an issue with my Manage Banners URL.

It should be:

<FORUM URL>/misc.php?do=cybbannman

However, it is

<FORUM URL>/%5C%22<FORUM URL>/misc.php?do=cybbannman\%22

Can anyone tell me where I can go and change the URL? I wanted to just hard code it into the template, but the problem is that I'll then show the link to everyone, as I don't know how to do the permissions checks there as well.

So, in short, where is the value of $cyb_flashimagebanners created?

[Firestar.chkn]

Nobody knows how to do this?

[ispots]

This error still exists and has not been addressed by anyone. It was even asked on the first page of the thread.

In the Quick Links, 2 instances of the link exist and one of them does not even work.

Why does this happen and what is the fix???

(screen shot attached)

The issue with me is that is pushes my header banner to the right and insert it self to the left....extended my forum.

Any way I can place this onto of my banner ? any help would be greatly appreciate it.

[Strike-Force.ne]

Disregard.
