Thank you

VB already has this function, look for Advertising in the ACP. Then select Manage Ads.

Add the URL in the field, Site URL/e-mail address.

Anybody that can push me in the right direction so the banners will show in the Header1 position.
I tried several things but none works so far.

The link manage banners is also visible by guests and registered users but it will take them to the smilies page. (already said but i thought maybe he didnt see it or forgot about it).

Do you know How can I fix that?
When I have it on Floating "none" than it stays in the middle above chat
But when I go to right it overlaps VSa chatbox
Left pushes the chat to the right side

Any news on this?
Thank you

done that and still nothing. also can not get more than one banner to show

[Rafa-el]

Is there a way to add unlimited number of ads?

[Valter]

There is no limit regarding number of banners.

[SteveV]

I am still not getting it to work on the header1 position.
Can anybody tell me what i did wrong ?

Thanks

[Valter]

It's not proper way to add/change position.

You need to add variable to template, then activate template name and script name in product settings.

[SteveV]

Hmm ok thanks.

Added the variable to Header template but still nothing shows up.

Will try all possible combinations i know and keep on trying
