    The ASP.Net version is good. No problem with expiring the old ads.

    The only thing that would need to change then would be in the request URL. It uses b= instead of a=.

    I do not see in the code where there is a reference made to "b="? Is anyone else having this problem? Am I missing something totally obvious and being a silly n00b?

    Protoss,

    I have the same question. I was just removed as well, and the link now show "ad_network.php file needs updating".

    I am not sure where I should look to change "b=" code. Any help would be great.

    Thanks,

    Nate

    Dang, maybe it's not just me then. Hopefully someone will be able to figure this one out before too long; I have a 54k weight site down and out right now :confused:

    Ok from a whopping 45 second comparison of the code from the ASP Classic and .vb files, the problem is that the code was using "s=" in the URL to pull ads from DP rather than "a=". I've made the change and attached the compiled DLL. Ya might just wanna clear out your ad_network_ads.txt file from all the "ad_network.php" poo, then log into your account and re-validate and it should be fine.

    Edit = I think I'll have to update the code on this tomorrow, as it's not clearing out the variables that get split when it displays...

    Protoss,

    Thanks for the info, However I tried changing the s= to a= and cleaned out the ad_network_ads.txt file but when i try to validate I am getting "Ads not found on http // www. Site . com/"

    P.S. I was unable to open your attached file.

    Let me know if it works for you.

    Thanks again

    Hmmm

    All ya gotta do is change it in the .vb file, recompile the dll from it, then drop it in your bin directory. If you don't have visual studio on your machine, then (assuming you have the .NET framework installed) use the vbc.exe file in your framework folder (may have to google to find all the specifics).

    Thanks for the aspx version, I will be using it too.

    Now this might be a silly question but I just dont know where to get the ad_network_ads.txt file. Do I create it? Download it?

    thanks, ic.

    I hope I didnt miss anything on the faq but I havent found info on the proper order of steps to have this setup.
    1. Register...
    2. enable ads on the site....
    3. validate...?

    I signed up for an account but I havent put the coding to work on the site yet. Will that be a problem?

    Oh also, anyone wants to volunteer a link to their sites where the ads is in place? :)

    Glad I could help.

    Flush your ad_network_ads.txt file... this will cure the problem.

    Just did, thank you so much!!

    I wanted to make my ad a text link so when I created my ad I selected the "Text" radio button under "ad type" but no matter what it comes out to be a text banner in the preview. Is it how it is supposed to show?
