Anyone help me get this mod to show the banners on Forum Home Page at top right?

Thanks

Ok, just did a bunch more testing. I even tried to put $cyb_flashimagebanners into several different templates in different locations to see if the banners would appear anywhere.... no luck...

UNINSTALLED for the second time....

Thanks anyway ...

If you wish create temp admin account for me to check it (with access to options, styles and plugins).

I will do that and send you a PM.... :up:

I sure would like to get this to work as it's the best thing I've seen to meet our forum's needs...

Thanks for your help...

Badger

ps: Oh... and marked "installed: again for testing ....

.... btw, the only place we want to locate the banner is the default. Up on the header at the very top, to the far right side opposite our logo. Thanks

It works now. Check your PMs.

Thanks very much.....

Been waiting a long time to have something simple like this to rotate links to related organizations.

Cyber could you explain what changed for badgerdog? Was it his custom template?
I did the same thing (installed it twice) with no luck.
Im thinking something is conflicting for me.
Maybe Vbseo?

[Louis Phong]

thanks, installed!

[BadgerDog]

Is there someplace I can change the code to have it open a NEW page when someone click a banner as opposed to opening with the same browser window?

Thanks ...
