Shawn, I have been validating very well until i went to a new server that has mirrored servers. I can see that my site (www.footballdiehards.com ) is showing the ads but the validtion is not working anymore. Perhaps there is some kind of problem associated with the mirroring. Let me know if you can help. BTW, your stuff is great! Emil
Yesterday I saw a post by jlawrence (berserker) suggesting that putting ads on a 404 error page might mitigate some auto-validation problems. I'm in the process of trying that now, but this post from Shawn seems to indicate that a redirect will still fail. I'm not a server administrator, but what I read in the manual seems to indicate that a custom error page is actually displayed using an internal redirect. Does anyone happen to know if this will work? My experiment has not yet lasted long enough to produce results.
