Is there a way to keep the timer from re-setting everytime the screen refreshes? I have the banners for 3 minutes, but whenever I go to another page, the first banner always re-appears, instead of continuing to the next banner after the next 5 minutes.

[STORMS]

I uploaded the file, but I don't see anything. What am I missing?

[Razfaz]

Is there a way to include Google AdSense Banner?
Perhaps in the next version.

For those of you who install and don't see anything in Quicklinks just use this URL:

http://yourdomainname.com/misc.php?do=vsabannman

or

http://yourdomainname.com/forums/misc.php?do=vsabannman

or whatever is appropriate and it will work fine.

*Installed*

Thank you!

What do I need to add for this to show on the CMS pages?

[MooseMoney]

How do I move the banner adverts to show just below the NavBar?

As you can see in error details it has nothing with this product.

I am having problem with the nav bar, only happens in ie8, works fine in firefox

as you can see the banner covers the dropdown menu, and disables the links in menu
running 4.03, did not have this issue in 4.02

fixed itself when I started showing banner on all pages and not just the index
