i think that a billboad is a surface that stands exactly always on front of your direction view, so you cant rotate it because so it's not again a billboard

I believe he is talking about rotating the billboard perpindicular to the camera.. so it is still facing the camera.

You could make your billboard sprite a child to a dummy scenenode. Rotating the dummy parent should rotate the child too. Well, it's not the ideal way to go, because this seems to be a bug in the engine, but it works
