Site suddenly fail validation

    My site is a blog at http://www.hot-screensaver.com/

    The ads was validated and displaying fine, but suddenly failed some time ago. Now, when I click on the "Validate/Calculate Weight Now" link, it just says:

    Ads not found on http://www.hot-screensaver.com/
    Account not not yet activated. | Site failed automatic validation as of 2006-03-04 (make sure URL and site type is correct - if everything is correct, make a request in the forum for assistance).

    However, all the time I can see the ads being displayed on my blog -- at the bottom of the page.

    Please help. Thanks.

    My hosting provider is having difficulty solving this problem it seems. They pointed me to this site smartcomputing.com/techsupport/detail.aspx?guid=&ErrorID=22057 and say that the error could be due to your ads script?? But, I doubt.

    Do you have any advice that could help in solving this problem? Thanks.

    This is what my hosting provider emailed me:

    In most cases yes, and we would be happy to assist you if we were aware what data your ad software attempts to send to our web-server, so we can see how exactly our system treats and accepts it. You will need to contact the website that is getting the 412 error and ask them how exactly they are sending the request.

    The fact I see nothing logged in the server from the advertisement website what-so-ever, does lead me to beleive that the issue lies with them, however, if you can get the information requested above - I can double check.

    ---------------

    Thus, is it possible to let us know how was the request being sent that leads to the "Precondition Failed" problem?

    Many thanks.

    Sometimes when I validate my site (in the footer) .. it fails because somehow it tries to check for links in /forum/ , don't know why, perhaps that is the first google result on some datacenters and I don't have links on the forum.

    Just a few clicks to validate and it gets validated.

    Hi,

    I saw the ranking on your hot-screensaver.com does well. How long did it take you to get up that high?

    Are you still having trouble displaying your ads or validating? Alot of people's weight is on 0 today. I don't know why.

    Same problem here. Suddenly received email saying that my site failed to validate.

    My blog url is http://www.liewcf.com/blog

    The Co-op ad is displaying correctly in the footer but still failed to validate.

    Ok. Problem solved.
    It was caused by a WordPress anti comment spam plugin -- Bad Behavior. Deactivate it and coop ad validated.

    LcF, if you deactivated Bad Behavior, then how do you minimise spams you receive? Please advise what other anti-spam plugins, etc you are using.

    LcF or any other gurus out there, any way to customize the bad behaviour script to allow this Digitalpoint Co-op ads system to work? :)
