MySQL 3.23.52 doesn't allow random banner generation???

[DannyITR]

i found this:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Mathematical_functions.html
"As of MySQL 3.23.52, MySQL changed the way
RAND() functions, such that you MUST supply a
SEED to get an actual random number. If you do
not, each new connection will return close to the
same number as the previous new connection. An
example to test this would be to run the follow
command multiple times in a row. mysql -u
username -p -e'select rand()' A basic way to seed
this would be to run RAND(NOW())."


My arrow ads hack randomization is really messed up and my sponsors are getting angry because the randomization is not random. Can anybody help me?

You could use RAND(NOW())...

I tired RAND(NOW())... but it didn't do anything.

probably you already solved it out but in case it helps someone else:

I think you should use ORDER BY RAND() but not include LIMIT in your syntax
