    No, the validator checks multiple pages from the site at random so you must have the ads on every page - it is a requirement of joining the network.

    A site doesn't have to be in the network to have ads pointing at it. A person with an account can create an ad that points at any site they wish so long as it adheres to the ad guidelines: http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/ad-network/guidelines.html

    There does seem to be something going on with my version that causes the "needs updating" message to be returned from DP after a certain amount of time or pageviews .... I'll be looking at this and hopefully posting the solution as well later tonight ...

    Assuming the parameters are being taken into account, it might be as simple as the URL you are requesting to the ad server.

    Shawn, is there any server side validation performed on the a URL param?
    I'm wondering if a difference in the Cold Fusion CGI.SERVER_NAME variable vs. the PHP $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] might have something to do with this...

    No, I don't think that would matter.

    Doh! I guess I missed an update notice announcement too ... just stumbled onto this by reading the ASP thread ... it seems the url param was changed from a to b .... I need to look through the rest of the code and make sure no other changes are there but for right now, these files will correct the immediate problem ...

    ALSO --- ANOTHER CHANGE I MADE ...

    The files should now be named ad_network.cfm and ad_network_ads.cfm (not ad_network_ads.txt). I really didn't like the idea of someone being able to download the ad_network_ads.txt file and see all coop participants. Hopefully a similar change is made to all running versions as a measure of protection (even if it is overly paranoid).
