The next major release will happen soon. I'm on vacation all next week so I should have more time to work on this.... Things like AdSense ads, user group permissions are on the top of the list. Keep an eye out.

Hi everyone,

I am displaying the large banner below my navbar (thanks to netdebut for the idea) but I cannot figure out how to center the banner so it looks neater.

Anyone have any suggestions. I am not really savvy with coding so please be patient

Again, many thanks to Deviation for this amazing hack !

This hack isn't working for me. I have tried re uploading everything several times to fix the problem. Some reason in AdminCP in the left hand navigation menu all I'm getting is *[]* as a navbit..I included an image below.

You should modify the templates. Then if for some reason it won't work, try to uninstall and re-install.

If it is not working then ask Deviance. Maybe it's a version tweak
