Description:

A banner management system that will allow display rotating banners in your sidebar, forum list, forum view and thread view.

The Banner add-on is designed for self hosted banners, these banners images are served from your server.
If you're looking to display scripts like AdSense, I suggest using the Ad Manager add-on located here:

Super easy to use. Ads can also be easily turned off for certain user groups or members by using permissions instead of code, as you would have to do if using templates.
Nice i love it, please make more updates, please add more stuff like count, rel nofollow, more position banner!
Very easy to install, and works FANTASTIC. I just needed a simple solution for adding banners to my forum, and THIS was it.
Great Add-on, it’s a great little feature which I love, it is a great way to get the word out by placing a banner on the top and bottom of your forums. What can I say, Andy you sure do make my life a lot easier, your attention to detail is impressive. Keep up the great work! Without some of your add-on’s our forum would not be as active as it has become. Nor would it be such a cool forum to belong. Thanks for the countless hrs of hard work you have put into all your add-on’s.
Perfect and just what I was looking for! Keep cranking them out, we surely love them!! Great job yet again, Andy!
I really like this plugin 10/10, works great, its free and light-weight. I only wish that this can be used in combination with responsive Adsense, it would be perfect to have such feature.What is important is that it is integrated well with all others plugins created by Andy, using all of them in combination is easy and smooth, which is important for a newbie like myself. Keep up the amazing work Andy, XenForo community is so lucky to have you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
This is great, Andy is not only a well known member, is an excellent professional. Is not only the magic addons he develop but his help and his support is not something you find frequently. A donation is coming soon as soon as i will be paid ... :-)
Works perfect, would be nice if it resized the images to match predefined sizes, but it works as expected. would be nice to have a fourth area at the bottom of the page as well.
Easy to use and beautiful
First of all, Andy always answer questions and accepts suggestions.
This addon is great.
Thank you Andy.
