I did some playing around took the <if></if> statement added to the ForumsDisplay template. You can insted place it in the header / footer template and it will show up also.
Nice work, and now some suggestions, is it possible to get also the clicks in the banner?
Also to have the full amount of banners displayed in the Board?
what about a hack that adds little button links to the homepage forum sections, I know they had it for vb2
I'm having a problem installing it as well... when I go to query I'm told:

I'll need to find out what syntax to use in admincp's query utility. The querys however do work in phpmyadmin.
EX: result from phpmyadmin:
Your SQL-query has been executed successfully
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `banner` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL AFTER `description` ;# Affected rows:261
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `bannerlink` VARCHAR( 250 ) NOT NULL AFTER `banner` ;# Affected rows:261
