its the top banner. I'm still using the RedTyger's Banner for the the bottom banner, its set on random. The Cyb banner doesn't do the refresh thing if you're not on Random I've found. So I've left that on continuous. You'll see the banners change every ~10sec. (once again, the top banner)

Love the stats feature Tho would like to see a views counter as well. And a fix to the refresh issue on the random banner feature. (to prevent the page from jumping every refresh)

But i had the cyb varriable only in the footer, it?s look like nothing

Can you help me??

Check the options to make sure the hack is on, and turn off the automatic insert into the header option.

I placed my variable at the top of my footer template...very first line. Shows up under the jump box now.

I've indicated the full image path in the Quick Links>Manage Banners>Banner and it works both in my vbadvanced cmps and forum header.

Is this a resource intensive mod? How much have you seen server loads increase if any at all? I run 0penads and am looking for another solution.

One simple query on page load.

[njoker555]

is there a way to have like 2 sets of rotating banners? Like I want to put a set of 468x60 on the top and etc.. and then on the right side like a 120x600 banner to rotate - any way to do that? or am I just stuck with one rotation unit

and i am also having trouble adding the link in quick links with $insert_cybfibr - but it works only in the default style, everwhere else its a bit messed up - also do you know how I can put the code into a module of vbadvanced?

help appreciated

[njoker555]

its been a few days and no response on here -

i am also having trouble using the code to show the banners elsewhere on the forum - if anyone can help, its appreciated

Does this work with 3.7.0 Beta 3? Might we see an update that integrates with 3.7.0's Ad Location Templates -- placing the rotating banner in any of its 9 locations (ad_navbar_below, ad_forumdisplay_afterthreads, ad_showthread_firstpost, etc.)?
