This is a great mod and I've used it for quite a while now. But I do have a question:

I currently have a set of horizontal ad banners setup across the top of the page. We are looking to get a separate set of banners set up on the left-hand side of the page for commissioned sales banners. Is there any way to do a different grouping of banner rotations so that only a certain group of banners can be rotated?

For reference: http://lsxnation.net We are wanting a separate set of banners below COTM.

Add a block like this to your banner manager in vboptions.

I have this already (had it for a while and love it), but I want to be able to use it on my VBAdvanced page. How do I go about putting the code as a module so that it shows up?

I tried copying the

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

into the module template, but it's not working. hmm...... any thoughts.
