Thought I would point out, when you click the link in the installed products page, it takes you to the 3.7 version and not the 3.8

I have updated mine manually.

[dannykilla]

would there be anyway to get this to work with affiliate website's like Commision Junction ?

Great mod always.

i have a simple question for you.

My forum dir is on www.mysite.com/forum/ but whenever I am on the vBadvanced CMPS (www.mysite.com/) all the banners do not show.

How can I make them show on my frontpage which is the vBadvanced CMPS

I include /forum/ in front of cyb_banners/ and it shows up on my vba.

so like this => /forum/cyb_banners/blahblah.jpg

My forum uses two themes. One that already has banners, and the other is just the VB Grey theme. Is it possible to only enable banners from CYB for just the VB Grey theme and not the alternate?

Thanks,

[Vaupell]

How do you set those limitations? Any idea how to get this to display after the first post?
