    Fair enough.

    Well if you have any brainwaves to what the issue is please let me know, I will just keep the single link on there for now.

    Cheers :)

    The links in the ad_network_ads.txt file are deliminated with a ^ instead of <ad_break>. Could that be part of the trouble? Is it going to be different because it's on a Windows host?

    It shouldn't be different on a Windows machine. I would guess that's the problem right there.

    Ahhh. So whats the delimiter than the ad_network.php uses? Can I modify the ad_network.php so it reads ^ instead?

    No, because it might be in anchor text. Just use the default PHP file, and you should be fine.

    Ah so the Coldfusion version of ad_network is incompatiable with the PHP one! Coldfusion only allows single char delim's I think...

    Could I change it to another char which will NEVER be in the anchor text? How about a tilda?

    Yes, if it uses a ^ as a ad separator it is.

    Yup it does...darn. Coldfusion only allows single char delim's. Is there any char which could be used which aren't allowed in the anchor text?

    No, there aren't any disallowed characters.
