Can you make a little better decription..

Like do i have to use a filestorage server were i save all my swf/images/xml files in and then only use the embed file code where i want my code inserted in forums adminpanel?

Hey
put your code via admin panel

general->forum-->configuration-->site description.
(but its possible no place if code is to longer..)-->make a script.

or via templates
display-->templates-->general->overall_header_new
put the code just after <head>
have you an exemple of your code??

Remember it's an XML banner rotator i want on my header....

This means
I got
1 folder (called images) with 10 images withhin it
1 xml file
1 swf file

Where do I store these files?

Forumotion doesn't offer the storage for those types of files. So, in essence, you'll have to use an off-site provider as you mentioned earlier. Try webs.com, its a good place to start.

To paste your rotator code, follow the instructions provided earlier. Template editing, however, is only available for PunBB and BB2 boards.

Okay thanks, as I thought so I need to use a diffrent server to store my files and then only use my code in site description.

When I go to admin->display it says Invision

This is a theme I installed.. so is there somehow I still can edit this to show my banner rotator?
