This effctively makes the banner update each time the user switches to a new page. I just copy/pasted the lines of code for option '4' and changed the swap interval from 'i' to 's'. FYI, I used the 'ocean mist' layout, and for this one the images must go to the id called 'mainpic' instead of 'header', which I changed in the options panel. works perfectly. Many thanks for this plugin. I added option ‘5′ to the plugin which chooses ’seconds’ as the interval. This effctively makes the banner update each time the user switches to a new page.
