Configuration Notes:
We've coded this version so that you can controll the images that displays. Entering an url to an image in the text box will cause the default image to disapeare and the new one you entered to take its place. Also, make sure you've got "Show image" set to yes. Global displayment is now do-able, by setting the displayment point above or below the navbar. It will then Display globally on your forum. Colors are changable, but must be in ASCII code for instance white = #FFFFFFF . Same goes for the text font. If you use a custom image, remember to enter the image width in the text area that follows, otherwise the whole allignement will be messed up.
*It was very hard to create screenshots for the user end, since it is up to you what the displayments must look like. The screenshots were taken on the default available styles, but keep in mind that everything is customizable via the admin-cp*
Included Files:
Admin End Screenshot
User End Screenshot

Whatever you guys suggest
Final Notes:
This modification was built from the ground up and was enhanced as we went on with the production of it. None of the codes here were leeched of the other modifications out there that are available to do the same basic function. This is not an updated version on any of those and must not be considered as one. It is a mod on its own.

I've got an image (a little bigger than a normal banner) which I'd like to have three links embedded in. Can I have it added as something that can 'stick' to my vBadvanced homepage (top middle column) so that I can link it to three different areas of my forum?
Will this feature help with this? If not, can someone point me to what I could use?
