    If you see the green word "yes" then everything is installed correctly.
    Should you not see it, then try refreshing the Forum Variables by going
    to the Admin Pages and selecting Reset Forum Variables.



    In the field Banner URL you should enter the URL of the site you want
    the Banner to link to, NOT the URL of the banner itself.



    Handle this last bit with care! You should really read the Help about
    Removing a Banner. Just click next to the header.

  • Start having fun!!
