Is there a way to get your banners to show up on the threads? I have mine in the top right corner, it works on all pages but the showtread page.

Thanks

I tried to do a quick find and replace of some code to try and get two banners going, but I failed.

What else needs to be renamed?

I really hope this mod gets ported over to 4.01. It makes life easy for handling simple banner rotations with zero hassle

Banner Alignment Problem Over Header Image

Recently I changed my header to be split into three images set in a table as shown below.

QUESTION: Where in my header code must I put $cyb_flashimagebanners to make my banners show up ontop of my right side image (4C_Header_Right.png)

PROBLEM: No matter where I put $cyb_flashimagebanners in my header code it aligns messed up and NOT over the top of my right side header image.

SOLUTION?: Can someone provide me with a header code to get my banners to show on top of my right side image please.

MY HEADER CODE BELOW:

<!-- logo -->

<a name="top"></a>
<center>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/4C_Header_BG.png)">
<tr>

<td align="left" valign="top"><a href="http://www.MyDomain.com/"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/4C_Header_Left.png"  border="0" alt=""/></a></td>
<td align="right" valign="bottom"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/4C_Header_Right.png" alt="" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>

<!-- /logo -->
<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

$ad_location[ad_header_end]

Installed and placed banner in the footer. It shows up everywhere except showthread.php pages (and only in IE - works fine in Firefox)
