ads sometimes not showing?

[disgust]

I've seen this a few times now

sometimes, it just won't generate an ad. if I refresh it an ad pops up just fine.

even when there's no ad, the "an-hl" comment shoes up still.

is there any way to fix this? if not, if the validation runs by and this happens, would I lose all my weight? how would it handle that?

[digitalpoint]

I suppose it's possible... look in your ad_network_ads.txt file and see if there are any blank spots. Maybe if there was a network connection failure between your server and the ad server.

[disgust]

I don't see any blank spots..

I don't know if this is even possible, but it seems like the "first" time I vew the site, it tends to happen, but reloads after that work fine.

I've seen it in two different browsers.

I wouldn't think it's an error, since it's not outputting anything though

Yeah, I've seen this too, a little too often.
Shawn: Is it ok to add a check to the code and grab the next ad if it's empty?

[digitalpoint]

Yeah, that's fine... although if the first was empty, I would guess it's a network issue and a second one would probably be empty too.

I've notice this myself and wondered if it was "My" ad that wasn't showing up. I added a second ad to my pool and disabled the first before the second was reviewed. Now I see the blank ad but no sign of the second ad which I have now enabled. Did I somehow throw a wrench in the works? :eek:

[digitalpoint]

The ad probably hasn't been reviewed yet.

[ResaleBroker]

I was able to "enable" the ad. Does that mean the ad has been reviewed?

[digitalpoint]

No, you can enable it right away, but if it says pending review, then it has not been reviewed yet.

[ResaleBroker]

It no longer says, "Pending Review." I hope I didn't goof something up. :o
