Go in to the vBulletin Options page and edit the settings for the Banner Rotator and add image/pjpeg to the list, using the | as a separator. I was having a problem with a .gif upload and had to add image/gif to get mine to work just now on 3.8.3. Works fine now.

PS. Thanks to wmlvb for the solution earlier in this thread.

I'd love a way to be able to do this also

The only thing I can think of is to duplicate the entire mod with another name (haven't tried that yet) but maybe there is a better way?

Same. I can't understand why a banner rotating sytem isn't part of vb in the first place. WTF! a $200 price tag for this software and you don't get basics with it.

Thanks vb org for all your extra help.

I have vb 3.8.3.

I can't find this in the header template
"<a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a>"

So its not working for me.

[Keesa]

Installed on 3.8.5 and it works, except clicking the header opens a new window every time which is NOT a fun feature

<center><a href="<if condition="$ban['url']">$ban[url]<else />$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]</if>" target="_blank">$banner</a></center>

Remove target="_blank" and it will work better
