Placing $bannerads works fine in header / footer template but not at all in Postbit template... Why?

Hi there, I have just installed this, must say it is a really nice hack and something I have been looking for however I have encoutered a few problems

This is the code I am using

<a href=\"URL/" target=\"_blank\" class=\"banner\"><img src=URL OF BANNERwidth=468 height=60 border=2></a>

Now I have added this in only the problem is, is that the banner then goes below the forum banner and the link doesn't link to the site that the banner is for instead it goes to www.mysite.com/%22www.urlforbanner.com/%22

Where am I going wrong? Is the code wrong and that is why the link isn't working correctly? And have I put the $bannerads in the wrong place on the header and that is why it is going under the forum banner rather than opposite the forum banner

Thanks in advance

Your code:

<a href=\"URL/" target=\"_blank\" class=\"banner\"><img src=URL OF BANNERwidth=468 height=60 border=2></a>

Correct code:

<a href="URL" target="_blank" class="banner"><img src="URL OF BANNER" width=468 height=60 border=2></a>

Get it?

And to get the banner above the logo of your forum, simply put the $bannerads above <!-- LOGO --> in the header template.

Hi there, I have put the correct code in and all is working fine thanks for that

No what I want to do is have the banners on the opposite side of the forum banner.

The forum banner is on the left hand side, I want the banners to go on the right hand side of the header so that it is opposite the banner

Thanks

In the header template find this:

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
    <td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
    <td align="$stylevar[right]">
        &nbsp;
    </td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo --><br>

Each column are specified with the <td></td> tags, each new row are between the <tr></tr> tags, so to add another column just add another column tag (<td>$bannerads</td>) after the last <td></td> tag (in between the </td> and </tr> tag).

wich of course would turn out like this:

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
    <td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
    <td align="$stylevar[right]">
        &nbsp;
    </td>
    <td>
$bannerads
    </td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo --><br>

Basic table building..
