is there something i can edit with this code?

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

Hi,

I installed the mod and it worked initially. I could see the .swf file in both the forum and in the banner rotater manager (edit banner).

For some reason I cannot see the .swf image in the forum or the image in rotating banner manager anymore.

I do not know what I have done in Vbulletin to cause this. The last edit I made was to the header template but that should not cause the .swf file not to show up in the 'edit banner' manager.

I have disabled my firewall and also used my Mac but still the .swf image is not showing up when it originally did.

I would really appreciate it if someone could come up with an idea.

Cheers

takes only a few sec. to write that done ... for ppl new to vB ..

THANK YOU! I had no idea what he meant and I just read through every page of this thread trying to find out.

Can an automatic rotate feature be added?

PS. Flash banners are showing on the left.
