Section banners are a powerful feature within the system. You can not only add banners to virtually any section of the site (e.g. discussions, events, articles, etc.) but you can also rotate multiple banners through each section and weight their appearance to your liking. This enables you to sell advertising space in a single section to multiple advertisers. In some instances, you might want to use your banner simply as a section header. It’s your choice!
This is an example of a banner ad atop the discussions area:
In the admin area, you can configure your banner with several attributes:
1. The image you upload fits inside a container that spans the right side of the screen. Using the container options and banner position controls, you can tweak how your graphic fits into that area.
2. You can link your banner to any URL
3. You can give your banner a relative weight compared to other banners you have added to the site sections.
4. You can activate and deactivate a banner without removing it from the system.
