It works now as admin.

But refreshing a page sometimes gives a blank. I have 2 banners loaded from the server and one banner loaded from an external site. The banners configuration is in random.

Added this to another site and banners dont appear
Fixxed it had to add $cyb_flashimagebanners to the header template

[midwestce]

In addition to my issue on post 15, I'm also having the issue of them (the banners) occasionally NOT showing up on page refreshes.

Thanks.

Ok, i have one little problem. I am running a customized skin that does not have "Quick Links". How do i go about adding them to my nav bar so i can see the manage banners part of this hack?

Any help is appreciated.

I would like to know this as well, as I removed the Quick Links menu.

Cheers
