Coop ads have gone completely static?

    Is it just me or are the ads on the coop not rotating out dynamcially anymore? I've noticed they do not change.

    Anyone?

    I had a site that was doing this. Can you select in the code how "static" the link placement will be?

    When setting up the code you can choose to have static links

    Yep, I'm pretty sure the options are 100% rotating, 50/50 or 100% static. Here's the original announcement thread.

    Yes, Fryman, I am... BTW, I found the problem. I am 50/50 it is a bug. After we look at this a bit more, I will report it to Shawn.

    Anyway, we fixed it in the mean time.

    I had thought there there may have been an issue if you selected 50/50 when the text file filled up to 1000 and ended up at a completely even number things would get stuck, 100% of the time. It looked like that was the case, but it was not...

    It was a bit of an optical illusion. There was one banner add at the bottom and top of a row of 5 adds that remained static. It created the impression nothing was rotating dynamically. It would appear that two and four were dynamic, while 1, 2, and 5 remained static. So even after reload with three of us looking at it, we never really noticed.....

    Anyway, I have fixed this by moving away from 50/50 across the board.

    Quick question though... Why did you increment up with version numbers on the code, and then start working down again? Thanx.

    There aren't version numbers on the code. The code is time-stamped (first line).

    Ok, I was just looking at the progression from previous versions:

    ad_network_219.php
    ad_network_374.php
    Then 147

    I just assumed these were version numbers.

    Nope... the timestamp on the first line of code is the closest thing to a version.
