Versatile banner rotation to display multiple versatile banner in the same position, been looking for days for a plugin or even in the setting to make this doable.. can this be added or even possible.

I don’t mind having columns on however having only up to four at a time and using mobiles can be alittle cluster.. I would like something that can be in the same position but automatically slides to be more eye catching.

Hi @Aaron_Walsh 👋 welcome to Meta 🙂

i use the versatile banner component on my forum, but it’s not really intended for displaying ads. i would suggest using the Discourse ad plug-in instead:

Hi @Lilly

Thankyou for the greetings, I’m loving the website (forum) have learnt so much on here it’s great!

However the perpouse is our own PNG. Picture (Ads) more than a 3rd party.

Thankyou for the gesture of helping, hopefully something will come across at some point as a feature.

The ad plugin can be used to create and display your own adverts. 👍

Thankyou @JammyDodger this maybe a very good alternative having them around the forum instead of all in one position at the top 👍
