For some reason my css attributes are not working anymore. In the header, the banner is now pushing the page down. I was using margin-top:-60px; margin-right: 5px but thats not affecting anything.

We are having trouble getting this mod to work with 4.0.3. Is anyone else having the same problem? What is the fix?

Thanks!

[Flyte]

When we turn this mod on our CMS crashes and we get this error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function rbs_url_sanity() in /home/content/92/5987292/html/mx/forum/includes/functions.php(6811) : eval()'d code on line 62

Please help....thanks!

Wrong thread.

set the play mode to random...so when a new page is clicked on a new banner will show for your 3 min...then rotate...click on new page and new banner should show again for your 3 min
