Ads show, coop says they wont validate? Why?

    This kind of goes to the same issue as Design1 is having. The ads are on every page, they display fine but the coop says that the weight is 0 and that they do not validate. See www.fordtruckfan.com as an example. This is just one of several asp sites that the coop won't validate after running in the coop for several months.

    edit: I'm also curious why I did not get any email notification that the site was not validating.

    Well, I don't know anything about the ASP port (and I especially don't support it), but if it was running PHP, I would tell you that your PHP code is outdated based on what I see on this end.

    Can you tell me what should be showing? The asp code around here has gotten so convaluted because of all of the changes to the coop. No one really knows which is the latest version. I updated my code less than two weeks ago when the coop started showing "ad_network.php file needs updating" on my sites. Then it was working fine until just recently. What is your coop looking to find for validation?

    Sorry... anything other than the standard PHP version is completely unsupported on this end. The only code that's "right" is the PHP version as far as I'm concerned.

    Well, if I could read php, it wouldn't be a big deal. I'd just do the port myself. One thing I'd like to know is how often the coop code is going to keep changing?

    It will be updated as needed.

    Wow Shawn... I think many would appreciate it if this were in the sticky.

    From the FAQ's there is no way for us to know this. I've put many hours into getting it work, ads display but wont validate, and now I've got no options.

    Sorry to sound like I'm complaining, don't mean to. A heads up would have put things in a totally different light.

    The frustration level is certainly elevated. As many members as there are of the coop that use asp, I'm disapointed there is not some degree of support. All I'd like is some documentation so I can fix the asp myself. *shrug*
