Nice and useful mod. What I wish for is to see how many times each banner has been showed and clicked and to be able to set at time between when the banner is to be shown.

That would make the hack excellent

Can anyone assist?

When I updated to 3.7 gold I had to update my style like everyone else.

Now my issues is the banner is not where is used to be.

The rotation works... however I can't get it to the right spot.

You will notice it is off as it should be right beside the user info/login box and indented from the left about 5 spaces. http://forums.prisonofficer.org/


Anyone help me narrow down how to get it back it its correct spot?
