    For those of us using asp, can someone shed some light on what this means othe than changing the caching time? What will be the new 'break" point to split the text into an array?

    I can update the asp code if you want to test it.

    I run the ASP version as well. Let me know when/if you have a chance to get the new version out. I would be happy to test it out as well.

    Can we make this (and any other important annoucements) a sticky for those who do not check the forum often may miss this important update?

    It was on page 3 before this post.

    It's going to go out in a mass mailing before it's a mandatory update and non-updated sites can't validate.

    I made the change to the new code... and now it is serving up text banners once in a while instead of only text links.

    my code snippet:

    $new_ad = file_get_contents ('http://ads.digitalpoint.com/network.php?s=' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . '&type=link');

    -------

    So it is asking for the right kind...

    This is REALLY screwing up my page layout!! Help! :eek:

    Delete the contents of your ad_network_ads.txt file. You probably have some in your cache for whatever reason.

    Something is really messed up. I have it showing multiple ads...

    echo $ad_network[0]."<br />";
    echo $ad_network[1]."<br />";
    echo $ad_network[2]."<br />";
    echo $ad_network[3]."<br />";
    echo $ad_network[4]."<br />";


    but OFTEN it shows the SAME ad in all or some of those spots. Is this relatd to the update?

    If you have just flushed out your ad_network_ads.txt file, it may take awhile for the file to build up a number of different ads.

    Ahh.... hm. Thank you.

    In my (humble) opinion the script should be designed not to show duplicates. It looks silly with 5 of the same links in a row. ;)

    I think has been requested as an enhancement although once the file is at its max of 400 ads the chances should be pretty small.
