I got same wrong T_T, please help me fix it!

Is there a way to make this only changed on page refresh and not by time? And also hold the page size instead of jumping the page up and down when it hits banners of different sizes.

I don't see that strange "jumping" effect at all on our system?

What browser are you using and do you have a link to your web site so I can see if it happens when I log in there?

Same problem for me and apparently others. Uninstalled until (if) someone posts the fix for this problem.

I use Firefox, it jumped the page since the banners are different sizes. I have since removed them , trying to figure out custom content page now lol

This hack does not work right with vBadvanced CMPS. It works OK with the rest of the site.

If $cyb_flashimagebanners is included *anywhere* withing the navbar template, the code in $cyb_flashimagebanners is stripped out somewhere before it ever makes it to the browser.

Here is what is output to the browser when included in the navbar template (code is from view source from the home page):

<table width="100%" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 60;
google_ad_format = "468x60_as";
google_ad_type = "text";
google_ad_channel = "";
google_color_border = "AAAAAA";
google_color_bg = "AAAAAA";
google_color_link = "000000";
google_color_text = "333333";
google_color_url = "222222";
google_ui_features = "rc:0";
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>

Note the empty table cell -- that is where $cyb_flashimagebanners template code is supposed to be. I have tried moving $cyb_flashimagebanners around and it seems to work fine in the header, but if it is anywhere within the navbar template, it doesn't work.

I really like this hack and I really want to use it, but this is pretty much a show stopper for us.
