Why does the "Manage Banners" link direct me to the smilies page?

This link is this:

http://www.bpgforums.com/misc.php?do=cybfibrset

BUT it goes to a full page that shows and defines all the smilies that I have installed on the forum.

Am I missing something? And what is a SuperAdmin? I am the admin of this website, and there is no one above me. Is this why I cannot see the Manage Banners link in the Quick Links drop down menu?

Check your includes/config.php file. There you can set SuperAdmins.

Peace

Same here. In firefox 2.0 and IE 6.

I really wanted to use this because it allowed for links. Guess I'll go back to the one that does not.

Do you have it set to off? That's what mine did when I turned it off after it locked up my site.

Hello. I have installed this mod and things work fine in the banner management panel, but when I try to insert

PHP Code:

$cyb_flashimagebanners 


in any of my templates to have it show somewhere else, it doesn't do anything. I am trying to get the banners to display between the navbar and the start of the categories, not in the header.

I have tried to insert it like this on the FORUMHOME & FORUMDISPLAY templates...

PHP Code:

$header
$navbar
$cyb_flashimagebanners 


Nothing happens. Is that incorrect? I am new to this.

[ktp101]

installed this but cant get my swf file to show, i placed the banner under my navbar. in IE it shows a blank box and causes the screen to flicker as if refreshing, i hosted the swf file with image shack, the link works fine but image not showing.

in Firefox i get a blank box with no image and it doesnt allow me to click it as a link.

i havent tried a gif or jpg file yet so may be an issue with my dimensions for the swf. is there any way of correcting the other issues though?
