The coder was last here 3 months ago, so it looks like we're on our own.

For me the banners don't even hyperlink anywhere. Anyone know how to fix this?

Great mod but banners will not upload using IE.. It thinks the image format is not jpg, gif or png even when it is.. Works fine with Firefox..

I've been reading this a lot today .. and I'm ready to do the funny things ..

Just wanna make sure not trash all ..

I have this in my header ..

<td width="43" height="29"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="1"><img id="nav_home" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/nav_home.gif" width="43" height="29" border="0" alt="" /></a></td>

That's looks a little diferent that the code you place to replace here ..
