This was inspired by the sponsor forums on vBulletin.nl and implemented at theadminzone.com. I would like to share it with you.
Open your forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template and replace the code with:
There is a default size of 185 X 25 pixels for the images hardcoded in the code above, feel free to change this. You would name the images banner_$forumid.gif where $forumid corresponds with the Forum ID appropriately.
I don't have a screen shot but you can see it in action at either of the sites listed above. I am sure for those who use Advertising on their sites, this would allow a new avenue of advertising. You can probably modify the above code to work with Categories easily enough as well.
