All sponsors are set up in Forums and showing perfectly.

Problem is the statistics, the forums dropdown menu is blank. No forums and/or sponsors listed.

I'm having adds in the header script of the forums. Can this script be used for for dedicated adds in the header as well? Would be great if it could.

A question. The "Sponsored by" text shows up fine on my main forum page, however if I go into a sub-forum (say hunting->Deer hunting) the text just says "Forum sponsored by:" and no link. I'm using text links instead of banners. On the main page it shows up fine. On the "Deer hunting" sub forum the link is there but the anchor text if blank. Any idea how to fix that?

I am still trying to have the "Sponsored by" text above the banners. I have read all posts and tried adding the tag in the section shown but it doesnt seem to work.

Can somebody please talk me through it please.

Thanks in advance

Hello i have a problem Post-install
i have installed de product, edited the templates and edited the forum with my first sponsor.

After that, i'm unable to edit any forum category anymore.
If i disable de product i can again edit the categories.

So is a problem with vbsponsors and edit forum category

Any ideas?

[aviendha]
