Howdy people. Just a heads up on an obsservation I just had on the banner system for 2.2.3 final

Banners work as they should when I'm logged in.

When I am logged off the site (the bit that my visitors are going to see while I update the layout/content), the banners get redirected back to the {xoops_url} for some reason.

I suspected a permissions issue and looked into the groups and what have you and didn't see anything that was of importance.

I am gathering at this point that is somwhere in the banner code itself, which I am sure someone will be able to figure out.

My site is currently closed, but I still have the banners on so that my traffic will have somwhere to go and something to look at when they hit the site (approx 1k unique visitors a month) It's not much but for a tiny little place like mine, thats a rather large and shocking number for me, so closing the banners off and loosing that trafic to my partner site would be a big loss.

At any rate, if I have to turn off the banners and just use my own code in the site_closed template, I will. In the meantime, I thought I would give a heads up and provide a link for you folks to check this odd behaviour out in action. http://www.stewdio.net

I'm sure almost anyone will be able to reproduce this.

Anyway, gotta run, catch you all later.
