Well everything is working but the text link on top of the forum/ category. Right now I have it set to use sponsor banner:no Which it should then use a text link, but it's not showing the text?

I have mine setup like this already. I just didn't put in the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post code.

Click on JNZ Tuning and you'll see the banner.

My whole forum is under development, so it's pretty basic right now.

Thanks for that.

Does anyone know how to get the banner/s to appear on all pages for each forum?

What code to insert and where to insert it?
