Good idea Zonnkers but do you fancy paying the bandwith/server costs? I would imagine that they would be fairly massive for a forum like this.

Bottom left of page, click on Flyforums Narrow. Will leave you will one small banner advert. If you like the look of the page, save in User CP under options.

There's no chance of admin doing that for you. The revenue from the adverts and classified subscribers is the primary reason the forums exist.

The banners alone are, I'm led to believe, charged at £60 per month plus VAT and the other Classified advertisers are paying £100 per annum plus VAT.

Admin will be slightly pee'd off at the suggestion below, although it is a handy facility.
