    Well my first question to you is what kind of theme do you have?
    Is it custom or the default one?
    If its custom you'll have to contact the creator of theme to see how you can get your banner into the theme...

    You'd have to do some coding if you want a rotating banner but im not exactly sure about that

    You could rotate banners using an image fader (dynamic drive ultimate fadein)

    See tile forums for an example.

    SMF is the worst forum software i ever tried in terms of modification user-friendliness.
    You need extra php knowledge to work things out. And it all starts with echo ' '; ;)

    it's called Dynamic Drive Ultimate Fade in

    can be found herehttp://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/fadeinslideshow.htm

    gives you the opportunity to link each image to a different URL and control the timing of the rotation.

    in IPB, like on tileforums, it's integrated into the header (the javascript) and the control code (a couple of lines) in the forum. Very easy to do .. and when you want to add a new image, you just remove the graphic and replace it with another one.
