This is a great mod, thanks!

I am already running this as my forum header but can it be used in other places as a banner ad rotator? Say between sections on the main forum?

I use it in my nav bar .. but how much dificult ( things to edit ) would be use it in the header at top right corner ?

I am trying to put it between forums, not sure if it is possible. I also have it installed as the main banner. Here is the thread..

When I upload flash banners, they are not aligned in the center, they are aligned to the left. How can I fix this?

Also, the links to the flash banners do not work. When I try to manually add the link to the banner, it goes to http://myurl.com<domain added>

How can i make it so that the swf banner goes to a desired link?

I am having trouble with people seeing what is in the banner some see it as they are suppose to and some are just seeing a white box. Thanks for the help in advance!

I keep getting "The selected file type is not allowed." anyone seen this? I've tried png and gif...

[hpmustangs]

did nothing but got ride of my logo ..

not working at all .. I upload the files and edit the header .. and I loss my logo now.. and nothing change in the admincp area ..

also your install info. say .. "Install product-brotator.xml" what do that mean?

copy the file to some the forum? if so what folder? and I am talking only about

"Install product-brotator.xml"

the other files are in the right place ..

anyways I loss my logo after editing the header file, and I don't see any way to mng .. banners

[hpmustangs]

well .. I had to "import" the product-brotator.xml file .. IMO you should .. not assume anyone know what " Install product-brotator.xml" meant .. you should take the time and write the steps needed to do a proper install .. e.g. go to admincp/plugins & products/Manage Products/[Add/Import Product] then click .. browse and load product-brotator.xml

takes only a few sec. to write that done ... for ppl new to vB ..

anyways my logo is still gone .. how to I put back my logo? I was using the default vB logo file name..
