The vBulletin product Rotating Banner System is an evolution of the commercial vBulletin Banners product. We decided to publish it as freeware. The vBulletin Banners and Rotating Banner System products may coexist side by side, although we reccomend to use only one at a single time.

With the Rotating Banner System software, you may publish literally anywhere standard banners and advertising, with no restriction but your imagination. Unlike many other products, it allows to show an unlimited amount of banners and advertising, which are randomly shown at the places you choose, and you may refer generically to an Ad by using specific placeholders. The placeholders can be defined in the product's options, and default to:

@vbbanners@

or:

@vbbanners_vertical@

Also the management is straight-forward and simple to use. Forum administrators with maintenance rights may add, edit and delete records from the Administration Control Panel (ACP), one of each representing a banner. After saving the new banner settings, they are immediately visible at your board.
