    If I understand this correctly, the new 1px x 1px image is being pulled from the server for every page viewed on the internet that has the new ad network code? Pages are slow now. :/

    Weight is still gone too. Just reporting, hope it works out.

    About how long do you think we have to make changes before the old code becomes defunct?

    I think the new features sound awesome but I have a lot of sites and a lot of pages to change over so I'm hoping we have a lot of time to make the change.

    The 1x1 pixel is used so only a single request needs to be made to the ad server by the end-user's browse =r (and not 5 different ones in the case of 5 ads being displayed).

    It's only a bad thing if you try to make it clickable (which it's not). 1x1 pixels are used often for formatting/spacing of layouts on sites.... so by themselves, they are not "bad".

    I think something was up with Google's API, in response to the weight questions. My weight was wild for a couple days and I haven't done any code changes yet.

    That seems to explain my concern. That's all I had, but wasn't able to put my finger on it.

    Thanks.

    For those that were seeing the loading delay, can you see if it's better now (it should be)?

    Haven't finished coding that part... I'm going to do it today. Most likely it will be a 24 hour lag... Trying to do it in realtime would be WAY too resource intensive (probably in the range of thousands of SQL inserts per second). So going to compile the data at the end of each day, and bring it down to a single SQL query per ad.

    Long story short, there will be a delay on the stats.

    Has the coop became part of digitalpoints business, i.e through being an affiliate of ebay? I dont see how you can spend so much time coding and answering so many queries for a free tool - Or is this what being boss of a company is like, let everyone else do the work while you do your own thing, lol.
