Ok I tried to upgrade from the previous version and got SQL DB errors, crashed the whole site. So next I unistalled and reinstalled brotator. OK so far,

I went to upload the first banner, and I got "There was an error while moving your file. Please retry."

I then ftp to check if maybe the old banners are still in the banners folder. They are so I delete them and try again. I still get "There was an error while moving your file. Please retry."

Um? where do I go from here?

[socalrico]

Duh!!!!! I figured out why the images weren't uploading. (image directory)
yours is images/brotator min is images/banner
Now I got to figure out why the banners aren't linking.

Hey, i renamed the folder/table to "brotator", so they have the same name as the php file

[socalrico]

Alright I got mine fixed. I had to remove some old code from the header and add the new code listed above.

Great Mod!!!!! Thanks for the ad links!!!!
