If you need custom version of this hack, pls contact me.

:::::UPDATE:::::
The product xml above will add 2 plugins and the ads stays fixed under navbar. This, however, may not be working with some custom skins if navbar template's codebit are changed. To fix that problem, open Banner System plugin (at global_start hook), replace the whole content with:

PHP Code:

// Banner Ads System by tnguy3n
if($vbulletin->options['bannersys_mode'])
{
    $getads = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "

bannersys_banners WHERE status = '1' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");
    $ads = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($getads);

    // print banner ads
    eval('$bannerads = "' . fetch_template('bannerads') . '";');

    $vbulletin->db->free_result($getads);
    unset($getads);
} 


Next step, you'll have to modify some templates in order to display the ads, place this following code:

$bannerads

anywhere you want to show the ads.
If you want to show the ads globally on your forums, put that code in either header or navbar or footer template.

To enable/disable or change other settings of Banner System: vBulletin Options -> Banner System Settings
- Banner System Mode: yes = enable, no = disable
- Show Banners to Logged In Users: yes = everyone (including logged in users), no = only guests
- Ads In New Window: yes = open in new window, no = open in same window

I have learned to live with it... But funny enough, if you hover over the dot, its a link.. and if you click it, it says the banner doesnt exist...

http://forum/banner.php?do=redirect&bannerid= is the link it sends me to

[headrat]

just donated some money for the hack too, hopefully that'll help.
Anyway, works perfectly on all other pages for me, just have that 'dot banner' on my portal cmps page. Would really like to fix it up.

I installed this but when i try to show a banner other than the test one i get a black dot on portal page and on forums i also get this warning message > Could not find phrase 'updated_banner_successfully'. i have read these posts twice incase i missed someing tried all the suggestions and nothing the test logo will work but nothing i add will work.

Then i added in the actual width etc and it worked a treat but when i click on link it comes up with link not active???? and i still got black dot on portal page i think i can live with that for now unless anyone got any new suggestions
