There will be a field for allowed file types, just add "image/gif" there (dont forget the comma).

I looked at that and all the ext. was in there .. separated with a | ... not a ","

Extensions accepted for upload (separated by |) jpeg|jpg|png|bmp|gif|image/jpeg|application/x-shockwave-flash

I am running vB 3.7.2

[hpmustangs]

well I got it working .. by adding "image/gif|" to the line up.. even tho you had "gif|" in the ext. box ..

well my website logo is still gone .. you should make a NOTE of that to everyone doing thing install that is using the "vbulletin3_logo_white.gif" for thir logo..

Fix to that is simple

Undo the Template Modifcations Above.

Now, goto the bottom of the "Header" Template and add the second line;

<center><a href="<if condition="$ban['url']">$ban[url]<else />$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]</if>" target="_blank">$banner</a></center>

This will add the banner below your Forum Logo.

I opted to have my banners left justified, so I'm using <left> rather than <center>

PS, Thanks for the Mod.

Needed a little tweaking, but it's exactly what I was looking for.

:up:

Does this do all of my banners constantly rotating while the screen is up? Or, is it a new banner on every page refresh?

well i have installed this but it doesnt seem to do anything at all...even when i copy a banner to the file location or try uploading it through ACP. it doesnt work. I am on VB 3.7.2 - I would have thought it would be OK since its only a couple of patches up form the one supported in the intro?!

[Gersfan]

It seems to be on my style that on the right hand side there is a space and the banner is not fitting the tthe header where it should as it's a fixed table.

There is the space on the right hand side ..werid..
