+== '''''How can I manage my banners?''''' ==
+
+Log into your '''Admin Panel''' and navigate to '''Tools -> Banners'''
+
+On the top of the Banners Panel there is a list of your banners. Each banner in the list has the following controling buttons: '''Preview''', '''Modify''', and '''Delete'''.
+
+'''''Preview''''' lets you see the banner as it will look on your site.
+'''''Modify''''' option lets you change the banner settings. They are stated further.
+'''''Delete''''' this deletes a banner.
+
+Besides this, every line displays banner statistics, such as number of impressions (views) and number of clicks.
+
+A new banner can be added by using a form at the bottom of the '''Banners''' panel. The settings are the same as when you're modifying a banner. Here they are:
+
+        1) '''''Banner title''''' - this can be any name you want to assign to your banner. This name won't be shown to members.
+        
+        2) '''''Banner URL''''' - here you need to specify the link where your banner points to, for example '''!http://www.boonex.com'''.
+        
+        3) '''''Banner Active''''' - this checkbox should be checked if you wish to display your banner and unchecked if you want to hide the banner.
+        
+        4) '''''Banner Text (HTML Only)''''' - this must be the code generating your banner, should it be a picture, a text or an object. For example, the following code will show a !BoonEx banner on your site:
+        
+        {{{
+<img src="http://www.boonex.com/img/boonex_cse2.gif" />
+        }}}
+
+        You can also upload banner images in the '''media/images/banners''' folder on your site using an FTP client and specify their code this way:
+
+        {{{
+<img src="http://my_site/media/images/banners/my_banner_name" />
+        }}}
+
+        5) '''''Start Date''''' and '''''End Date''''' are the starting and ending periods of your banner's impression. You can use the '''''Choose''''' and '''''Clear''''' buttons to insert a date and delete it respectively.
+        
+        6) '''''Position on the page''''' has four checkboxes '''''Top''''', '''''Left''''', '''''Bottom''''' and '''''Right''''' to display the banner in the respective areas of your site.
+        
+        7) '''''HShift''''' and '''''VShift''''' let you specify for what number of pixels you want to shift your Left or Right banners '''''Horizontally''''' or '''''Vertically''''' respectively.
+        
+        8) '''''Submit''''' button allows you to submit your changes and the '''''Insert as new''''' checkbox lets you submit the modified banner as a new one.
