I needed to change permissions on the folder.

change permissions on "brotator" folder to 0777 (chmod 777 it)

Please consider adding support for raw html so we can put google adsense or cpx ..

also, banner id? so we can add more than 1 unique banner to the forums?

start with banner1 banner2 and banner3 ?

thanks!

Is this safe to use in VB 3.6.8 ? ... Is it still causing problems in that version..

Just wondering since it's still in Beta.

Go to your AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Banner Rotator

There will be a field for allowed file types, just add "image/pjpeg" there (dont forget the comma).
