    I just setup a DP Ad unit below the navbar on my forum, with Google Analytics Ads for secondary ads.

    Everything seemed to be working properly until I checked my site with IE8. Firefox on PC and Mac works fine. Also Safari on my Mac is working, but IE8 is displaying a blank area.

    I checked the site on 2 different machines, but alas, still not working. Javascript seems to be enabled in the browser. Did I goof up, or am I missing something?

    Seems it's a bug in the new version of jQuery specific to IE. I rolled back the version it uses for now, and am going to file a bug report with the jQuery developers so hopefully we can get it fixed for the future.

    If your flush your browser cache and try it now, it should work.

    Edit: Looks like someone already reported it to jQuery developers and it's already been tagged as fixed for the next version...

    In case you are curious, this was the underlying issue: http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/9221

    Thanks so much for the quick fix! Excellent service, a little more testing and I'll be converting all my ads to the DP system.

    Just one other question, I've converted my leading ad to the Digital Point system, but left two lower ads running in the standard Adsense format. Google says that the top ad will be the highest CPC, but if the second and third ads render first, and the first ad renders last as per the new javascript, does that mean I have the lowest CPC ad at the top?

    If they are rendering out of order it would only be because of latency issues from Google servers, the ads themselves are inserted in normal top to bottom order, so that's the sane order Google would see them.

    Wow... jQuery 1.6.1 came out today and the fix that was only reported like 24 hours ago was not only fixed, but made it into 1.6.1. I've tested it already and the fix does seem to work fine. So once jQuery 1.6.1 propagates across all the CDNs, we'll move Digital Point Ads to 1.6.1 (we were on 1.6.0 before, but downgraded to 1.5.2 as a result of this bug).

    Now if only vBulletin developer were so fast to fix bugs... :)
