Edit Template : ForumDisplay

Find:

<if condition="$foruminfo['banner'] AND $foruminfo['bannerlink']"><center><td><a href="$foruminfo[bannerlink]" target="_blank"><img src="$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banneralt]" border="0" /></a></td></center>
<else />
<if condition="$foruminfo['banner']"><center><td><img src="$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banneralt]" border="0" /></td></center>
</if>
</if>

REPLACE:

<if condition="$foruminfo['banner'] AND $foruminfo['bannerlink']">
<div class="smallfont" align="center">	
Sponcerd by:<br /><a href="$foruminfo[bannerlink]" target="_blank"><img src="$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banneralt]" border="0" /></a>
<else />
<div class="smallfont" align="center">	
Sponcerd by:<br /><img src="$foruminfo[banner]" alt="$foruminfo[banneralt]" border="0" />
</div>
</if>

I think this will work out for ya.
